About ferro-alloys; ferro-manganese, containing by weight 2% or less of carbon

HS code 720219 covers ferro-manganese, a critical ferro-alloy used in the production of steel. Ferro-manganese is an essential ingredient in the steel-making process, improving the strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance of the final product. As a key component in the global steel industry, this ferro-alloy plays a vital role in supporting the broader manufacturing and construction sectors.

Production process

Ferro-manganese is produced by smelting manganese ore with iron ore or steel scrap in a blast furnace or electric arc furnace. The molten metal is then cast into ingots or other shapes for further processing. Careful control of the carbon content, typically 2% or less, is crucial to ensure the desired properties of the final ferro-alloy.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 720219 ferro-manganese include manganese ore, iron ore or steel scrap, and a source of carbon, such as coal or coke. Specialized furnaces, casting equipment, and other metallurgical machinery are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Ferro-manganese produced under HS code 720219 is primarily consumed by the steel industry, where it is used as an alloying element to enhance the mechanical properties of steel. The output of this industry may also be further processed or combined with other ferro-alloys to create more specialized steel products. Related HS codes that may consume 720219 ferro-manganese include 7201 Pig iron and spiegeleisen in pigs, blocks or other primary forms, 7202 Ferro-alloys, and 7207 Semi-finished products of iron or non-alloy steel.
