Low Carbon Ferro Manganese


Low Carbon Ferro Manganese (LC FeMn) is a refined ferroalloy with high manganese content and very low carbon. It is used in steelmaking to add manganese while keeping carbon levels minimal, improving toughness, strength and weldability of steels where low carbon is required.

Key Specifications:
• Manganese (Mn): 70–80% (min)
• Carbon (C): ≤ 0.10% (max)
• Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.15% (max)
• Silicon (Si): typically ≤ 0.5% (varies by grade)
• Form: Lumps, granules, powder

  • Description
  • Additional Information
  • Applications

Low Carbon Ferro Manganese is produced to supply manganese for steelmaking without adding significant carbon. Typical production methods include aluminothermic or specialized refining that produce FeMn with carbon levels ≤ 0.1%. The alloy acts as a deoxidizer and manganese source while preserving low-carbon chemistry in the melt.

  • Provides manganese for improved strength and toughness

  • Keeps carbon very low for better weldability and corrosion resistance

  • Acts as an effective deoxidizer and sulfur controller

  • Ideal for stainless steels, tool steels and specialty low-carbon grades
