Ferro Manganese

Ferro Manganese (FeMn) is an alloy of manganese and iron.

FeMn is made by heating a mixture of oxides, Manganese Dioxide (MnO₂) and Ferric Oxide (Fe₂O₃) with high carbon content. The oxides go through carbothermal reduction in the furnaces that result in producing Ferro Manganese.

The FeMn alloy is notable for its low melting point and tensile strength. It is used as deoxidizer and desulfurizer for production of steel.

It is available in multiple sizes and grades and is broadly used in the manufacture of different types of steel. It also finds application as an agent of alloying in the manufacture of iron castings.
