Description

Manganese CAS NO 7439-96-5 is a versatile transition metal element essential for numerous industrial and metallurgical processes. Its primary commercial value lies in its powerful alloying and deoxidizing properties, which are critical for enhancing the strength, toughness, and wear resistance of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This product is indispensable for manufacturers in the steel, aluminum, and specialty alloys sectors, as well as for producers of batteries, fertilizers, and water treatment chemicals.

Application

• Steel Production: A vital alloying agent and deoxidizer to improve hardness, strength, and resistance to abrasion and impact.
• Aluminum Alloys: Enhances strength and corrosion resistance in aluminum-manganese alloys used in beverage cans, cookware, and automotive parts.
• Dry-Cell Batteries: Used as manganese dioxide (derived from Mn) in alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries as a cathode material.
• Non-Ferrous Alloys: Key component in copper-manganese and nickel-manganese alloys for electrical and marine applications.
• Agricultural Chemicals: Serves as a micronutrient in fertilizers and animal feed to correct manganese deficiencies in soil and livestock.
• Water Treatment: Employed in oxidation processes to remove iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from groundwater.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a catalyst or precursor in the production of various organic chemicals and pigments.

Quality Control

Our manganese metal is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer various grades, including standard industrial and high-purity electrolytic, with specifications tailored to meet the demands of alloy production and chemical synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metallic impurities, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to its pyrophoric nature in fine powder form, appropriate precautions must be taken to prevent dust accumulation and contact with ignition sources.
