Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/21/2019 -- Manganese Alloys Market – Snapshot

Manganese is a brittle, hard, grey-white to silvery metal with the chemical symbol Mn. It is the fifth most abundant metal found in the Earth's crust. Manganese serves as an important alloying agent. Manganese alloys are primarily used in the production of steel. Manganese enhances the strength, stiffness, hardness, toughness, hardenability, wear resistance, and forging and rolling qualities in steel. Manganese alloys are processed into different grades of superalloys and steel; therefore, these are employed in various industrial applications. Alloys with high manganese content possess properties such as ductility, formability, strain hardening, and strength level parameters, which reduce the weight of vehicles and improve resistance against effects of mechanical impact. Manganese increases the hardenability of steel. Manganese alloys are more durable as cost-effective as compared to other metals alloys.

Increase in Use of Magnesium Alloys in Automotive Industry to Drive Market

Demand for manganese-based steel alloys is increasing in automotive applications due to high demand for weight saving to reduce fuel consumption. Manganese and steel are alloyed together to reduce the weight of the component. Aluminum is alloyed with other elements, including manganese ore and silicomanganese, to create moderate-to-high strength, non-heat-treatable alloys that are readily weldable and corrosion-resistant. The addition of manganese alloys to steel creates favorable properties such as high thermal conductivity, good castability, high corrosion resistance, and machinability.

High Production Cost of Manganese Alloy to Restrain Market

The production cost of manganese alloys depends on key variables such as cost of power, cost of raw materials, cost of labor, and cost of transportation. The production process power intensive as it requires high temperatures and high power; therefore, the production cost is high. Thus, the high production cost and market volatility are projected to hamper the manganese alloys market. Several governments have imposed stringent mining regulations for the extraction of manganese. It ultimately hampers the production cost of manganese alloys. According to a report by the Bureau of Mines India, India is expected to experience a 5mtpa shortage of manganese ore by 2020. This likely to hamper the prices of manganese alloys. Implementation of stringent environment rules regarding water and air pollution in developing and developed countries is expected to affect the production of manganese alloys.
