Nitrided Ferro Manganese

Details:

Nitrided Ferro Manganese is an essential alloy additive for producing special alloy steels, stainless steels, and heat-resistant steels. It is typically obtained by nitriding low-carbon ferromanganese using a nitriding medium.

Nitrided Ferro Manganese is primarily used as a nitrogen additive in steel refining to enhance the strength and other mechanical properties of steel, refine grains, and stabilize austenite.

Characteristics of Nitrided Ferro Manganese:

High nitrogen and low harmful impurities such as phosphorus result in high nitrogen utilization and low addition rates after smelting.

Nitrogen improves the strength and ductility of steel, expands the austenite region, refines grains, and enhances processability.

Manganese can partially substitute for nickel, thereby reducing costs.

Applications of Nitrided Ferro Manganese:

Nitrided Ferro Manganese exhibits excellent magnetic properties and is used in the manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers, and other electrical equipment. Due to its high magnetic permeability and low magnetic losses, Nitrided Ferro Manganese alloy materials provide high performance and stable magnetic properties, widely used in power systems and electronic devices, effectively improving equipment efficiency and performance.

Furthermore, Nitrided Ferro Manganese also possesses excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Therefore, it can be used to manufacture various critical components, machinery, and structural parts, improving product lifespan and safety.

Nitrided Ferro Manganese alloy materials also demonstrate good heat treatment performance, allowing for the production of materials with different properties by adjusting alloy compositions and heat treatment processes to meet various industry demands. Due to its excellent performance and wide-ranging applications, Nitrided Ferro Manganese alloy materials have become indispensable materials in modern manufacturing industries.

In summary, Nitrided Ferro Manganese is an alloy material with excellent magnetic and high-strength properties, widely used in electrical engineering, electronic devices, aerospace, manufacturing, metallurgy, and other fields. Its properties and diverse application characteristics make it an important modern engineering material, contributing significantly to various industries.

Preparation methods for Nitrided Ferro Manganese:

Liquid nitriding method: Nitrogen gas is introduced into the liquid medium of low-carbon ferromanganese in a closed container to fill the alloy with gaseous or solid nitrogen components. The resulting Nitrided Ferro Manganese has advantages such as high density, high strength, and high nitrogen utilization during steelmaking. However, due to the lower nitrogen content, it often fails to meet the requirements of steel refining.

Solid nitriding method: 

In a closed container, solid media are heated to low-carbon ferromanganese powder and nitrogen gas is fully introduced to nitride the powder. The solid powder of low-carbon ferromanganese reacts with nitrogen released from nitrogen or ammonia gas to form a series of nitrogen-containing compounds. The stability of these nitrides decreases with increasing temperature until decomposition. Therefore, this method requires appropriate nitriding temperatures. In some cases, manganese iron powder with a particle size less than 60 mesh is nitrided in a closed container with nitrogen gas at temperatures ranging from 650°C to 1120°C for 4-8 hours, resulting in Nitrided Ferro Manganese containing 4-6% nitrogen. The nitrogen content increases with increasing manganese content but decreases with increasing carbonized manganese content. The nitrogen content of high-manganese low-carbon ferromanganese is slightly higher than that of low-manganese medium-carbon ferromanganese. The density of the resulting iron product is low, but it increases after melting, while the nitrogen content significantly decreases. Approximately 1 ton of Nitrided Ferro Manganese requires 1 ton of low-carbon ferromanganese and 1500 kWh of electricity.
