What is silicon Manganese Ball？

Silicon manganese alloy is mainly used as an intermediate material for the deoxidizer and alloying agent of steel production, and is also the main raw material for the production of low carbon ferromanganese.

The role and characteristics of silicon Manganese Ball

Silicon and manganese in silicon manganese alloy, strong affinity with oxygen, in the use of silicon manganese alloy in steelmaking, the resulting deoxidation products MnSiO₃ and MnSiO₄ melting are 1270℃ and 1327℃ respectively, with low melting point, large particles, easy to float, good deoxidation effect and other advantages.

Under the same conditions, using manganese or silicon deoxidation alone, the burn loss rate is 46% and 37%, respectively, while using silicon manganese alloy deoxidation, the burn loss rate of both is 29%. Therefore, it has been widely used in steelmaking, and its output growth rate is higher than the average growth rate of ferroalloy, becoming an indispensable composite deoxidizer and alloy addition agent in the iron and steel industry.
