Manganese Powder

Manganese is a silvery-gray metal that resembles iron. It is hard and very brittle, produced by electrolytic or atomisation process.

Manganese is a silvery-gray metal that resembles iron. It is hard and very brittle, produced by electrolytic process.

Manganese powder has many uses, including:

Steel production: Manganese is used to make steel alloys, such as Ferromanganese, which is a mixture of manganese, carbon, and iron. Manganese removes oxygen and sulfur during the conversion of iron ore into iron. Manganese alloys decrease the brittleness of steel and increase its strength.
Powder metallurgy
Manganese can be used for alloying powder steels sintered in H/N atmospheres or pure nitrogen.
Chemical and ceramic industries: Manganese powder is used in the production of pyrotechnics, grinding wheels, welding rods, and ammunition.
Other uses: Manganese powder is used in battery manufacture, colorants, pigments, ferrites, welding fluxes, water treatment, fuel additives, odor control, catalysts, sealants, metal coating, and circuit boards.
