The carbon content of low carbon ferromanganese

Low carbon ferromanganese is mainly an alloy composed of manganese and iron. It is made of manganese ore as raw material and melted in blast furnace and electric furnace. Ferromanganese is one of the most used deoxidizing agents and alloying materials in steelmaking production.

 The carbon content of low carbon ferromanganese is no more than 0.7%. The Japanese standard requires carbon content of less than 1%, while the original federal German standard requires carbon content of 0.05~0.5%. The production method of low carbon ferromanganese is the same as that of medium carbon ferromanganese, but the carbon content of silicon manganese alloy is lower. In recent years, medium and low carbon ferromanganese is produced by converter, shaking bag and oxygen blowing, which saves energy and reduces carbon content.
