Engineers prefer Manganese Metal because it actively strengthens steels, supports deoxidation and desulfurization, and balances toughness with wear resistance. Moreover, it plays a key role beyond ferrous metallurgy. For example, you will find it in Al-Mn sheets and coils, electroplating processes, catalysts, and even in battery precursor chemistries.

ToggleWhen evaluating suppliers, buyers usually focus on three main aspects. First, they check purity and residual content. Second, they choose the right form and size. Finally, they expect reliable, port-ready handling that ensures smooth logistics.
Steelmaking & Foundries – It improves strength and toughness. In addition, it removes oxygen and sulfur during the melt.
Stainless & Specialty Steels – It enhances workability and wear resistance when combined with Chromium and Nickel.
Non-Ferrous Alloys – It stabilizes the microstructure in Al-Mn coils and sheets used for packaging, HVAC, and appliances.
Electroplating & Chemicals – It provides protective layers, works as a catalyst, and supports chemical intermediates.
Battery Materials – It ensures consistent feedstock, which is essential when impurity ceilings and lot uniformity matter.
As a result, Manganese Metal has become indispensable in many industries.
To meet different production strategies, Manganese Metal is supplied in several forms:
Flakes – They dissolve quickly because of high surface exposure. Furthermore, they allow predictable dosing.
Briquettes – They reduce dust, allow compact handling, and ensure a stable feed for alloying.
Lumps – Common sizes such as 10–50 mm fit conventional alloying practices.
Packing Options:
You can select either 25 kg bags (palletized) or 1 MT jumbo bags with liners. In addition, all pallets are heat-treated and stretch-wrapped, which provides extra protection during marine transport.

Every lot comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA). Consequently, you can verify the quality before use.
We prepare every shipment for fast port clearance and safe handling.
Documents provided: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, COA, MSDS, Bill of Lading.
Incoterms: FOB, CIF, or CFR as required.
Consolidation: Shipments can include other metals, provided segregation prevents contamination.
Storage: Always keep the material dry. In addition, reseal opened bags to limit oxidation and dust.
Industrial users demand repeatable performance, and our product delivers. We meet ASTM, EN, and JIS equivalents where applicable. Furthermore, we maintain lot traceability, provide retention samples, and align with narrow residual windows for Fe, Si, S, and P.
Therefore, you can rely on consistent dissolution and predictable results in your process.
Choose your form: Flakes for speed, briquettes for compactness, or lumps for conventional charging.
Verify purity: Our 99.8% Mn grade covers most alloying and chemical uses. Nevertheless, check residual limits for electroplating or batteries.
Request documentation: A COA is standard, but you may also ask for additional certificates.
Plan deliveries: Align vessel schedules with production windows. In addition, consider partial releases to avoid stockouts.
Primarily as an alloy addition and process aid in steelmaking/foundry operations; also in Al-Mn alloys, plating, catalysts, and battery-adjacent materials.
Flakes, briquettes, and lumps. Selection depends on dosing method, dissolution needs, and handling preferences.
Usually 25 kg bags or 1 MT jumbo bags with inner liners, palletized on heat-treated pallets and stretch-wrapped
Yes. Each lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) matching the agreed specification.
Residual ceilings (Fe, Si, S, P, etc.) can be set in the contract and verified on the COA, subject to sourcing constraints
