Indigenization of Electrolytic Manganese production
Production of Electrolytic Manganese as per the MIDHANI specification.
There is regular requirement of Electrolytic Manganese metal in steel making industries. Currently good quality of this master alloy is being imported. There is need to have a reliable indigenes source for these master alloy.
Electrolytic manganese is a pure form of the metallic element manganese, Mn. The Mn content between 99.7% -99.9%. It is termed "electrolytic" because the refining process involves electrolysis. That is, a chemical reaction driven by an electric current. It finds wide applications in metallurgical industries as an alloying element. Electrolytic manganese in the form of flakes is used for alloying in highly critical alloy steels, stainless steels, etc due to its low content of undesirable tramp elements.
The specification of Electrolytic Manganese is given below.
