Silicon Manganese
Silicon Manganese is an alloy of Iron and Manganese with a Silicon content of 1-2%. It is a very important alloy for steel industry. It is an alloy that can increase strength, fracture toughness, corrosion resistant, temperature and wear properties of steel.
Silicon Manganese is a strong alloying element and its addition to steel improves strength and improves the ductility characteristics of steel. The combination of iron and manganese improves the strength of the steel by forming more iron-manganese-silicon compounds. This alloy also increases the absolute hardness of the steel and the resistance to abrasion wear is important for wear resistance application.
The addition of silicon improves oxidation and corrosion resistance in steel by forming additional oxide coating. This oxidation and corrosion resistance properties are beneficial for components exposed to corrosive environment or extreme temperatures. It also improves the abrasion resistance of the steel, which is important for components subjected to wear and tear.
Silicon Manganese is also used in stainless steel and heat resisting alloys. Impurities of iron, silicon and manganese can form compounds that can prevent iron from oxidizing and increase corrosion resistance of steel. Silicon manganese produces a harder and more workable steel and enhances the formability, weldability and machinability of steel.
Silicon Manganese is used in various industries. It is used in steel industry to improve the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of steel. It is also used in automotive industry, as it helps to reduce noise, fuel consumption and improves vehicle performance. Other applications of this alloy are in production of maintenance free, wear resistant and corrosion resistant steel for pressure vessels. It is also used in the production of agricultural implements and tools exposed to harsh environment.
