Aluminum-manganese ferroalloy is a widely used and extensively produced type of ferroalloy, primarily composed of manganese, silicon, and iron, along with minor amounts of carbon and other elements. It accounts for a significant portion—approximately two-thirds—of electric furnace ferroalloy products.
In steelmaking, silicon-manganese alloy is highly valued due to the strong affinity of silicon and manganese for oxygen. During deoxidation, the resulting products, such as MnSiO₃ and Mn₂SiO₄, have a low melting point and form fine, easily removable particles, which enhances the efficiency of the deoxidation process.
Compared to using pure manganese or silicon alone—which have burn-off rates of 46% and 37%, respectively—the combined use of silicon and manganese in alloy form reduces the burn-off rate to just 29%. This efficiency has made silicon-manganese alloy an essential composite deoxidizer and alloying agent in the steel industry, and its production growth continues to outpace the average growth rate of ferroalloys.
Additionally, silicon-manganese alloys with a carbon content below 1.9% serve as intermediate products in the production of medium- and low-carbon ferromanganese, as well as in the electro-silicon thermal process for metallic manganese.
Within the industry, these alloys are categorized based on application:
Those used directly in steelmaking are referred to as commercial silicon-manganese alloy.
Those used for smelting low-carbon ferromanganese are termed self-grade silicon-manganese alloy.
And those intended for metallic manganese production are known as high-silicon silicon-manganese alloy.
The formation of manganese silicides (such as MnSi, Mn₂Si, or Mn₃Si) is thermodynamically favorable due to their highly negative free energy of formation—significantly more so than that of manganese carbides. As a result, higher silicon content in the alloy correlates with lower carbon levels.
