description Silicomanganese (SiMn) is an alloy composed primarily of manganese, silicon, and iron, with smaller amounts of carbon and other elements. It is widely used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in the production of steel to enhance its strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion. Silicomanganese is typically produced by smelting a mixture of manganese ore, quartz, and iron ore in electric arc furnaces or submerged arc furnaces
