Silicon Manganese

Silicon-manganese alloy is an alloy composed of Mn,Si, iron and a small amount of carbon and other elements. Wide use, high output. Its consumption ranks second in electric furnace ferroalloy products. 

SiMn is often used in steel mill production. The Mn and Si in the silicon-manganese alloy have a strong affinity for oxygen. 

The melting points of the deoxidized products MnSiO3 and Mn2SiO4 are 1270℃ and 1327℃, respectively. It has the advantages of low melting point, large particles, easy to float, and good deoxidation effect.

The growth rate of SiMn output is higher than the average growth rate of ferroalloys and higher than that of steel. It has become an indispensable composite deoxidizer and alloy additive in the steel industry.

Hainan West Asia Import and Export Group 2023-8-24: 

According to incomplete statistics, in August, there were 24 silicomanganese production plants in other parts of southern China, and 39 furnaces were opened, which was 3 more than the opening in July. The output of each grade of silicomanganese is expected about 132,400 tons, of which silicomanganese 6517 is about 121,000 tons. This month, China's Yunnan region continued to increase production, starting 13 factories and 17 furnaces, with an output of about 50,000 tons. The above data are for reference only, and the actual operation of the factory shall prevail.
