Manganese & alloys
Manganese is primarily produced from the mineral pyrolusite (MnO2), which, on average, contains more than 50% manganese.
Manganese is an extremely brittle and hard, silvery-grey metal. The twelfth most abundant element in the earth's crust, manganese increases strength, hardness and wear resistance when alloyed in steel.
Excellent formability , welding and corrosion resistance.
Density: 7.21 g/cm³
Melting Point: 1246°C
Boiling Point: 2061 °C
Mohs Hardness: 6
