Manganese Silicon Alloy Powder / MnSiFe Powder Description
Manganese Silicon Alloy Powder is a combination of manganese and silicon elements in powder form. Commonly known as a ferroalloy additive, it has wide usage in the steel and iron industry. The alloy powder enhances mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, and wear resistance in steel and iron. This also leads to an increase in resistance to oxidation and corrosion within the alloy.
Generally, the production of manganese silicon alloy powder is by a process called aluminothermic reduction, whereby manganese oxide and silicon dioxide are made to react with aluminum. The resultant alloy powder is then used in the production of various steel and iron products.
