HC Ferro Manganese

High carbon ferro manganese (HC FeMn) is a primary manganese unit for steelmaking, used to deoxidize liquid steel and to alloy in manganese for strength and hardenability. Manganese has a higher affinity for oxygen and sulfur than iron, so HC FeMn pulls dissolved oxygen into the slag and ties up sulfur as MnS, countering hot-shortness during rolling. This grade carries Mn ≥ 65% with C ≤ 7.0%, Si ≤ 2.0%, P ≤ 0.30% and S ≤ 0.03%, sized 10-80mm for controlled dissolution in BF-BOF and EAF practice. The 65% Mn floor and capped P suit construction and structural steels, alloy steel, and ladle desulfurization where carbon pickup is acceptable. Typical additions run about 0.3-0.8 wt% of the heat, adjusted to target Mn recovery and residual limits. Conformance is verified by XRF/ICP against ASTM A99 / ISO 5446, with COA and MTC supplied per lot. Multi-regional sourcing supports CIF Marmara delivery and Gebze bonded stock, in 20 MT FCL lots. Send heat size and target Mn for a graded RFQ.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HC FeMn and FeSiMn?
HC FeMn (Mn ≥65%, C ≤7%) is a pure manganese source, for alloy + construction steel needing high Mn. FeSiMn (Mn 65-72%, Si 14-22%) combines deoxidation + alloying. Choose FeSiMn for combined EAF deoxidation, HC FeMn for Mn alloying + desulfurization only. Most producers use both at different stages.
Are HC FeMn Mn and carbon content suitable for construction steel?
Arsam canonical: Mn ≥65%, C ≤7.0%, Si ≤2.0%, P ≤0.30%, S ≤0.03%, size 10-80mm. Standard for Mn alloying in construction steel (rebar) + alloy steel. The high C also feeds the EAF carbon balance. COA + MTC per lot.
What is the typical HC FeMn dosage in steelmaking?
0.3-0.8 wt% HC FeMn depending on steel grade (targeting bath Mn). For an EAF producing construction steel, a typical monthly consumption band is 300-700 tons. Dosage decided by the line metallurgy chief, Arsam shares the dosage calculation template.
Which documents are standard for HC FeMn?
COA + MTC + radiation certificate are standard package per lot. SGS / Bureau Veritas / Intertek third-party inspection on request (complimentary for premium customers). EUR.1 / A.TR export documents for EU shipments.
What is the HC FeMn delivery time?
Sea freight CIF Mersin/İskenderun 28-35 days. If stock is available at the Gebze bonded warehouse, 24-48 hour rush delivery. Alternative road/ferry route 12-21 days. Dubai bonded warehouse for MENA customers 3-5 days.
