Medium Carbon Silico Manganese is a lumpy material with a silvery metallic appearance, it is an alloy of manganese, silicon and iron with less Carbon content.

What are the uses and advantages of this Alloy?

• It is mainly used in stainless steel production of 200 series.
• During decarburisation, the use of medium-carbon silico manganese instead of high-carbon silico manganese, results in productivity improvements of 4-6%, it reduces the amount of oxidized manganese, and therefore the amount of silicon required. 
• This alloy improves the life span of the furnace lining due to the use of a less fluid slag.
• It can also replace both manganese metal and ferrosilicon in the production of certain grades of medium-carbon steel. It is extensively used in steel foundry, electrode coating work and many other areas.
