High Carbon Ferro Manganese
High-carbon ferromanganese is an important ferroalloy material used as an additive in steel production. Its production process is mainly divided into two methods: the ironmaking method and the electric furnace method.
The iron-making method uses high-manganese ore and coal-based raw materials with high carbon content to produce high-carbon ferromanganese under high-temperature reduction conditions. The electric furnace method uses manganese ore and electronic coal with high carbon content as raw materials to refine high-carbon ferromanganese under the action of the high-temperature electric arc.

| HC Ferro Manganese | 70-77 | 7.5 | 3.0 | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| HC Ferro Manganese | 65-72 | 7 | 4.5 | 0.3 | 0.3 |
High Carbon Ferro Manganese Uses
- Improve the hardness and strength of steel: high carbon ferromanganese contains high carbon and manganese elements, these elements can effectively improve the hardness and strength of steel, making steel have better wear resistance and tensile strength. At the same time, it can effectively prevent cracks and brittleness on the surface of steel products.
- Promote the grain refinement of steel: the manganese element contained in high-carbon ferromanganese can promote the grain refinement of steel, and improve the toughness and impact toughness of steel so that it has good performance in high-temperature and low-temperature environments.
- Improve the corrosion resistance of steel: high-carbon ferromanganese contains high manganese element, which is an important corrosion-resistant element, which can effectively improve the oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of steel, making steel more durable.
- Reduce the cost of steel production: High-carbon ferromanganese is widely used in steel production, which can effectively replace other expensive steel additives, reduce the cost of steel production and improve production efficiency.
- High-carbon ferromanganese also has the functions of anti-oxidation and sulfur removal and is widely used in steel, casting, alloy, and other industries, and is an indispensable and important material.
Differences Between High Carbon Ferro Manganese & Low Carbon Ferro Manganese
High-carbon ferromanganese and low-carbon ferromanganese are two ferromanganese alloys with different carbon contents. Their differences are mainly in the following aspects:
Carbon content: The carbon content of high-carbon ferromanganese is usually 7%-8%, while that of low-carbon ferromanganese is about 1.5%-2%.
- Application: High-carbon ferromanganese is mainly used in the production of steel, which can effectively improve the hardness and strength of steel. Low-carbon ferromanganese is usually used to make alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, etc., which can increase the toughness, ductility, and wear resistance of the material.
- Price: The price of high-carbon ferromanganese is usually lower than that of low-carbon ferromanganese because the production process of high-carbon ferromanganese is simpler.
- Production process: The production process of high-carbon ferromanganese is relatively simple, while the production process of low-carbon ferromanganese is relatively complicated because the carbon removal process is very complicated
In short, although high-carbon ferromanganese and low-carbon ferromanganese are both ferromanganese alloys, they differ in carbon content, usage, price, and production process.
High Carbon Ferro Manganese Price
In the first half of July, the high-carbon ferromanganese market has not changed significantly and is in a flat state. Both buyers and sellers in the retail market are rational and cautious. The overall performance of transaction prices and quantities is average. The domestic market price remains at 5,600 to 5,700 yuan.
