High Carbon Ferro Manganese
High carbon ferro manganese(HC FeMn) is an important alloy material that is widely used in steelmaking, casting, and welding rods. Compared to low carbon ferro manganese, the carbon content in high carbon ferro manganese ranges from 6% to 8%, with small amounts of elements such as silicon (Si) and phosphorus §. Its melting point is approximately between 250°C to 1300°C, and its density is between 7.2 to 7.4 g/cm³. Natural manganese ore, quartz stone, and iron chips remain the primary raw materials for producing high carbon ferro manganese. Using coke as a reducing agent, the raw materials are heated in an electric furnace to extract elements like manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and iron (Fe) from the ore. This process occurs under high temperatures which lead to extensive chemical reactions, producing molten high carbon ferro manganese alloy. It then undergoes a series of refining and processing techniques to effectively reduce impurities and enhance its performance for various applications.
Uses of High Carbon Ferro Manganese
Deoxidizing Agent in Steelmaking: High carbon ferro manganese is a crucial raw material in the steelmaking process. The manganese in its chemical composition easily reacts with oxygen (O) in the molten steel to form manganese oxide (MnO), effectively reducing the oxygen content in the steel and minimizing gas porosity defects. Additionally, high carbon ferro manganese can absorb sulfur (S) in the molten steel, reducing the impact of sulfur on the thermal brittleness of steel. According to customer feedback from XLS Metals, users found that during the production of Q235 steel, approximately 5-8 kg of high carbon ferro manganese is required per ton of steel to enhance its properties.
Casting: In the casting sector, to improve the fluidity of molten iron and reduce clogging at the outlet, a certain proportion of high carbon ferro manganese is usually incorporated during the production process. Due to its excellent wear resistance, high carbon ferro manganese contributes to the production of cast iron with high tensile strength and hardness, which is widely used in mining machinery, crusher liners, and other easily worn cast iron components.
Welding Rods: High carbon ferro manganese is extensively used in the production of various welding rods and serves as an important raw material. It stabilizes the arc, reduces spatter, and enhances the strength and toughness of the weld metal. For instance, the J422 welding rod requires manganese ferro manganese to account for approximately 10%-15% of the total material weight during the production process, based on performance requirements.
