- Si : 15% min
Properties and Application
- Used in the production of many specialty steel alloys.
- Added to steel, it enhances its strength and function.
- 68% manganese and 14-16% silicon will be present in standard silicon manganese steel alloys.
- Silico Manganese can be used in many applications in standard steel products.
Description
Silico Manganese is an alloy with 65% to 68% manganese, 16% to 21% silicon, and 1.5% to 2% carbon. It is produced by smelting of slag from high-carbon Ferro Manganese or of Manganese ore with coke and a quartz flux. Smelting temperatures are high and greater energy is needed to reduce the quartz to silicon.
