What does manganese do to metals?

Manganese is primarily used as an ​​alloying agent​​ and ​​purifier​​. Its effects are fundamental to modern metallurgy, especially in iron and steel production. Here’s what it does:

​​When Added to Iron/Steel:​​

1. 1.

   ​​Deoxidizer and Desulfurizer (Most Important Function):​​

   • •​​Deoxidation:​​ Manganese has a high affinity for oxygen. It reacts with oxygen in the molten steel to form manganese oxide (MnO), which floats to the top as slag. This ​​removes harmful oxygen bubbles​​ (which cause weakness and brittleness) and results in a stronger, more uniform steel.
   • •​​Desulfurization:​​ It also has a high affinity for sulfur. It reacts with sulfur to form manganese sulfide (MnS). This is crucial because iron sulfide (FeS) causes a defect called "hot shortness," making the steel brittle and prone to cracking when hot-rolled or forged. MnS is less harmful and remains in particulate form, ​​preventing brittleness​​.
2. 2.

   ​​Alloying Agent (Enhancing Properties):​​

   • •​​Increases Strength and Toughness:​​ Manganese atoms strengthen the iron's crystal lattice (solid solution strengthening), making the final steel significantly stronger and tougher without sacrificing ductility.
   • •​​Improves Hardness and Wear Resistance:​​ This is the key property in "Hadfield Steel" (11-14% Mn). This steel becomes incredibly hard and wear-resistant upon impact (work-hardening), making it ideal for rock crushers, railway crosspoints, and armor.
   • •​​Promotes Hardenability:​​ Manganese allows steel to be heat-treated more effectively, enabling a deeper and more uniform hardness after quenching.

​​When Added to Aluminum:​​

• •​​Increases Strength:​​ It forms a fine dispersion of intermetallic compounds that strengthen the aluminum through dispersion strengthening.
• •​​Improves Corrosion Resistance:​​ The manganese-rich particles help make the alloy more resistant to corrosion.

In summary, manganese is not just an additive; it's a ​​vital purifier and transformative agent​​ that turns brittle, impure iron into the strong, workable steel that defines modern infrastructure and manufacturing. Its role in high-purity forms like EMM is equally critical for advanced technology like EVs.
