description Ferromanganese (ferromanganese alloy or FeMn) is an essential alloy composed primarily of manganese and iron, with smaller amounts of carbon and other elements. It is a crucial additive in the production of steel, imparting desirable properties such as increased hardness, tensile strength, and resistance to abrasion and corrosion. Ferromanganese is produced through a smelting process where a mixture of manganese ore, iron ore, and carbonaceous materials is heated in electric arc furnaces or submerged arc furnaces. It finds extensive use in the steel industry for manufacturing a wide range of steel products used in the construction, automotive, infrastructure, and machinery sectors. However, the production of ferromanganese can have environmental impacts, prompting the industry to adopt measures for sustainable and efficient production processes.
