In recent years, due to the innovation of technology, safety and varieties, the application scenario of ferromanganese has been developed by leaps and bounds, and the ferromanganese market is hot, in addition, the explosive growth of industrial user demand has also greatly enriched the application scenario of ferromanganese.
On the one hand, the further promotion of raw materials and suppliers in the industrial chain of ferromanganese is conducive to the restructuring and upgrading of the industry source and the optimization of the industrial process;
On the other hand, the renewal and iteration of ferromanganese technology and quality are conducive to the continuous upgrading and quality improvement of products, and further meet the new needs of users, which are conducive to the further development of the industry. The promotion of many parties makes the application of ferromanganese explosive development.
Development prospect of ferromanganese：
The raw materials for the production of ferromanganese are generally manganese ore containing manganese, coke, lime melted by high temperature environment and fully reacted into smelting, it can be seen that the most important raw materials of ferromanganese are “manganese ore”.
Manganese ore is a very important strategic mineral resources, especially rich manganese ore and high quality manganese ore resources.
In modern industry, manganese and its compounds are used in various fields of the national economy, as an important industrial raw material, manganese is widely used in steel, non-ferrous metallurgy, chemical industry, electronics, batteries, agriculture, medicine and other fields. According to the data of the International Manganese Industry Association, the current consumption structure of manganese in the steel field occupies an absolutely dominant position.
Ferromanganese application:
1.Steel industry
The iron and steel industry is the most important area, accounting for 90% to 95% of manganese, mainly as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer in the process of iron and steel making, and used to make alloys. Ferromanganese is an essential deoxidizer and desulfurizer in steelmaking industry.
Good steel needs to be deoxidized and desulphurized when smelting, and the use of deoxidizer will greatly increase its cost, so ferromanganese is a cheap deoxidizer, desulfurization refers to the steel sulfur and other harmful substances to be removed, ferromanganese can be a good way to achieve the purpose of desulfurization, effectively reduce the content of harmful elements in steel, improve the quality of steel.
In the steelmaking industry, each ton of steel needs to consume about 3 to 5kg of “75% carbon ferromanganese”.
2.Casting industry
Ferromanganese added to cast iron can be used as inoculant and nodulating agent of ductile iron, and can prevent the formation of carbide, promote the precipitation of graphite greatly shorten the nodulating time, but also can greatly reduce the form of impurities in hot metal, improve the quality of cast iron, improve the performance of cast iron. And reduce the blockage of the water mouth of the smelting furnace, effectively extend the service life of the smelting furnace.
3.Electronics industry
In recent years, the application of manganese in the battery field has received market attention, the traditional zinc-manganese batteries mainly use electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) as the positive electrode, manganese is also an important component of the positive electrode materials of power batteries such as lithium manganate, lithium nickel cobalt manganate and so on. Lithium rich manganese based materials are mainly cheaper manganese elements, less precious metal content, compared with commonly used lithium cobalt oxide and nickel cobalt manganese ternary anode materials, not only lower cost, but also better safety.
4.Other industries
Ferromanganese powder can be used as suspension phase in mineral processing industry, and as coating for welding rod manufacturing industry. High manganese ferromanganese can be used to prepare semiconductor pure manganese in the electrical industry, and can be used to manufacture manganese ketone in the chemical industry. In addition, it is also used in light industry (for batteries, matches, printing paint, soap making, etc.), building materials industry (colorants and fading agents for glass and ceramics), national defense industry, electronics industry, as well as environmental protection and agriculture and animal husbandry.
Ferromanganese industry has been relatively mature, more and more ferromanganese elements have been promoted and applied to various fields, extending terminal equipment, characteristic services, value-added services and other products and services, product series is as many as 20 types, can fully cover finance, transportation, people’s livelihood services, social welfare security, e-commerce and security and other fields. The era of full application of ferromanganese is coming.
