Manganese is a silvery-white metal, dense, solid with an unusually complex structure. The latter causes its fragility. Manganese is harder than iron. The metal has four modifications. Alloys with metal can stabilise any of them and obtain solid solutions with various properties.
In 2017 and 2018, global manganese production was 20.1 million tons. According to the data for 2017, South Africa was the largest manganese producer (5.3 million tons). The top five manufacturers in 2017 also include China (2.5), Australia (2.2), Gabon (1.6), and Brazil (1.2).
90% of world manganese production goes to the needs of steel industry. Moreover, most metals are required not for manganese alloys production but the manufacturing of iron and steel. Besides, manganese is used in alloys production for electrical engineering. Also, its compounds are widely applied in non-metallurgical industries: medicine, agriculture, and chemical production.
On the platform, suppliers market manganese ingots with the purity of up to 99.99% as well as alloys with various chemical compositions depending on customer requirements. Manganese in ingots form ensures high quality of metal and alloys as well as convenient shipping. The average price ranges from $1000 to 1500 per ton. This category includes suppliers mainly from China, Ukraine, South Africa, and Brazil.
