Ferro-alloys; ferro-silico-manganese

HS v2022 Code: 720230

About ferro-alloys; ferro-silico-manganese

HS code 720230 covers ferro-silico-manganese, a vital ferro-alloy used in the production of steel and other metal alloys. This industry plays a crucial role in the global metals and manufacturing sectors, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications, from construction and infrastructure to automotive and aerospace industries.

Production process

Ferro-silico-manganese is primarily produced through the smelting of manganese ore, silicon, and iron in an electric arc furnace. The raw materials are carefully measured and blended before being heated to extremely high temperatures, which causes the metals to melt and combine into the desired ferro-alloy. The molten mixture is then cast into ingots or other shapes for further processing and distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the ferro-silico-manganese industry include manganese ore, silicon, and iron. High-quality raw materials are essential for producing the desired alloy composition and properties. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized smelting equipment, such as electric arc furnaces, as well as a reliable supply of electricity to power the production process.

Production outputs

Ferro-silico-manganese is a crucial input for the production of 720211 Ferro-manganese, 720221 Ferro-silicon, and various types of steel. It is used to improve the strength, hardness, and other mechanical properties of these metals, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in the construction, automotive, and machinery industries.
