Product Description

Silicomanganese containing *5 to *2 percent manganese, *6 to *1 percent silicon, and 1.5 to 2 percent carbon, is produced by the smelting of slag from high-carbon ferromanganese or of manganese ore with coke and a quartz flux. When combined, these elements can be used to produce a number of specialty steel alloys. Silicon manganese enhances the natural properties of steel, giving it increased strength and function, as well as improved aesthetic appeal. This means that these alloys can be used in applications beyond those associated with standard steel products. Silicon manganese may also be known as ferro silico manganese or abbreviated as SiMn.
