We can supply electrolytic manganese metal flakes with competitive prices, also provide full sizes of manganese metal flakes according to clients’ requirements.

Electrolytic manganese metal flakes are a widely used alloy material. They use manganese ores to obtain manganese salts through acid leaching and emit metals for analysis in electrolytic cells. The appearance is iron-like, irregular flaky, strong, and brittle, with one side bright and the other side rough, silver to brown to brown. It is processed into a silver-gray powder. It is easily oxidized in the air. Dilute acid dissolves and replaces hydrogen. Above room temperature, water can be decomposed and hydrogen gas can be released.

Function Of Electrolytic Manganese Metal Flakes

 Improve the heat resistance, wear resistance and oxidation resistance of refractory materials and power metallurgical industry The basic raw material of polymer for silicone molding. Iron-based alloy additives are used in silicon steel alloys to improve the hardenability of the steel. Used in high-temperature materials production for the manufacture of enamels and ceramics and for the production of ultrapure silicon wafers.

Application of electrolytic manganese metal flakes

As we all know, manganese and manganese alloys are indispensable materials in the steel industry, aluminum alloy industry, magnetic materials industry, chemical industry, etc. What are the applications of electrolytic manganese metal flakes?

The purity of electrolytic manganese is very high. Its function is to increase the hardness of alloy materials. The most widely used ones are manganese-copper alloy, manganese-aluminum alloy, and 200 series stainless steel. In these alloys, manganese can improve the strength, toughness, and wear resistance of the alloy. and corrosion resistance.

As we mentioned before, manganese is an indispensable additive in the smelting industry. Electrolytic manganese is processed into powder and is the main raw material for the production of manganese tetroxide. The original magnetic materials widely used in the electronics industry are produced from manganese tetroxide. The electronics industry, metallurgical industry and aerospace industry require electrolytic manganese metal. With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of productivity levels, electrolytic manganese metal has been successfully and widely used in steel smelting, non-ferrous metallurgy, electronic technology, chemical industry, environmental protection, etc. due to its high purity and low impurity characteristics. Food hygiene, welding rod industry, aerospace industry and other fields.

The production process of electrolytic manganese metal flakes

There are two main methods of refining manganese metal: thermal method (fire method) and electrolytic method (wet method). The purity of thermal method production (metal manganese) does not exceed 95-98%, while pure metal manganese is prepared by the electrolysis method ( Electrolytic metal manganese), its purity can reach over 99.7~99.9%. Electrolytic production has become the main method of manganese metal production.

Electrolytic manganese metal price

The price of electrolytic manganese metal is mainly affected by supply and demand, electricity, and raw materials.

In China, manganese metal companies are mainly concentrated in the south. The South relies on hydroelectric power. During the rainy season (April-October), the power supply is sufficient to meet production needs, while during the dry season, power shortages affect the production of manganese metal.

The annual production of global special steel requires 700,000 to 80,000 tons of electrolytic manganese, about 10,000 tons to 10,000 tons of manganese for manganese aluminum alloys, and about 50,000 to 60,000 tons of manganese for Mn3O4 and other magnetic materials. The total global demand is about 450,000 tons-500,000 tons. , domestic demand is about 150,000-200,000 tons.

Comparison of electrolytic manganese metal flakes and manganese metal lumps

Electrolytic manganese flakes and manganese ore lumps are two different manganese products, and they have certain differences in uses and differences.

First, let us understand the uses of electrolytic manganese flakes. Electrolytic manganese flakes are manganese products prepared through an electrolysis process. They are characterized by high purity and ultra-fineness. Due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, electrolytic manganese flakes are widely used in steel, electronics, chemical industry and other fields. In the steel industry, electrolytic manganese flakes are used as alloy additives that can significantly improve the strength, hardness, ductility and corrosion resistance of steel. In the electronics industry, electrolytic manganese flakes are used to manufacture batteries, capacitors and other electronic components. In the field of electrolytic manganese flakes, electrolytic manganese flakes can be used to produce manganese dioxide, manganese hydroxide and other chemical substances. These substances have a wide range of applications in batteries, ceramics, coatings and other fields.

Compared with electrolytic manganese flakes, manganese metal lump is a more traditional manganese product. It is prepared from manganese ore as raw material through high-temperature smelting, refining and other processes. Because manganese metal lumps have high density, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, they are widely used in steel, non-ferrous metals, aerospace and other fields. In the steel industry, manganese metal lumps are used as alloy additives, which can significantly improve the strength, hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance of steel. In the field of non-ferrous metals, manganese metal lumps can be used to prepare various manganese alloys, such as manganese-aluminum alloys and manganese-copper alloys. In the aerospace field, manganese metal lumps are used to manufacture high-performance materials such as high-temperature alloys and stainless steel.
In addition to the above differences, there are also certain differences in appearance between electrolytic manganese flakes and manganese metal lumps. Electrolytic manganese flakes are usually in the form of flakes, with a thickness generally between 10-20 microns, while manganese metal lumps are in the form of blocks or granules. In addition, the chemical compositions of electrolytic manganese flakes and manganese metal lumps are also different. Electrolytic manganese flakes have higher purity and contain fewer impurities, while manganese metal lumps may contain more impurity elements.

In short, although electrolytic manganese flakes and manganese metal lumps are both manganese products, they have certain differences in use, appearance and chemical composition. According to different application fields and needs, suitable manganese products can be selected to meet production and life needs.
