Standard Specification for Ferromanganese

Summary

1.1 This specification covers ten grades of ferromanganese, designated as follows:

Ferromanganese Type

Grades

Standard ferromanganese

A, B, and CV

Medium-carbon ferromanganese

A, B, C, D, and Nitrided

Low-carbon ferromanganese

A and B

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.


Rationale:

This specification covers standards for ferromanganese (Grades A, B, and C), medium-carbon ferromanganese (Grades A, B, C, D, and nitrided) and low-carbon ferromanganese (Grades A and B). The ferroalloys shall conform to manganese, carbon, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen contents specific to different material grades. Materials shall also adhere to content limits of arsenic, tin, lead and chromium. The material shall be available in standard sizes, tolerances, and friability ratings.
