Silicon manganese is now widely used by steelmakers. The combination of this ferroalloy provides the properties of ferrosilicon and ferromanganese in steel production, making it the second most widely used ferroalloy in the world after ferrochrome. Of course, access to the raw materials needed for production, as well as the high cost of energy, has led many countries to supply demand from the source of imports instead of production. In trade, as in consumption, silicon manganese ranks second.
Silicon manganese, also known as ferrosilicon manganese, is one of the ferroalloys used in the steel industry. As the name implies, this ferroalloy is a combination of silicon and manganese, and typically contains 12 to 16 percent silicon and 50 to 70 percent manganese. Silicon manganese is used in steelmaking for oxygen decomposition, sulfur degradation, and the improvement of the mechanical properties of steel by the addition of alloying elements. Today, economic efficiency as well as the preservation of the molten composition have increased the tendency of steelmakers to consume silicon manganese instead of a combination of ferrosilicon and ferromanganese. According to the latest data from the US Geological Survey, silicon manganese has the largest share of ferroalloys after ferrocream. Of course, as with other ferroalloys, access to raw materials and energy costs have made imports a source of demand for many countries. Between 2001 and 2016, an average of 2.652 million tons of silicon manganese was traded. The largest amount of silicon manganese trade was in 2007. This year, Silicon Manganese’s trade volume reached 3,379,000 tons. Prior to the financial crisis in 2009, Silico Manganese’s global trade was on the rise. However, after declining in 2009, the trading volume of this ferroalloy was fully recovered. Between 2001 and 2016, Silicon Manganese’s global trade reached 2.67 million tons in 2016, with an annual growth rate of 2.7 percent, according to online metals. The decline in global steel production in 2015 reduced demand and trade for silicon manganese. In 2016, the slow growth of global steel production compared to 2015 was evident in Silicon Manganese’s global trade. In terms of regional trade, 48% of global silicon exports were manganese from the European region. It is noteworthy that Europe is also the world’s largest importer of silicon manganese. Asia’s share of global exports in 2016 was also estimated at 41%.
