Manganese is a metallic element Manganese is belonging to group 7 in the periodic necessary to make steel table of elements. ductile and durable. Pure manganese is a steel-grey metal. It is hard, but at the For one tonne of steel, about 10 same time so brittle that it can be pulverized. kilograms of manganese alloy is On a worldwide basis, there are large deposits of manganese. In needed. Nearly 90 per cent of the the earth’s crust, there are some 900 ppm, making it the second world’s total manganese alloy most common metal after iron. It is primarily extracted from the production goes into the mineral pyrolusite (MnO2), also known as brownstone. More than production of carbon steel: steel 80 per cent of occurrences are found in South Africa and Ukraine. for the construction, energy and Other important deposits are in China, Australia, Brazil, Gabon, transport sectors, and the tool India and Mexico. Manganese is also found in the form of industry, and special steel nodules on the ocean floor. produced for the aeronautics and aerospace industries.
