Ferrosilicomanganese is a brittle alloy of iron, silicon and manganese, used in metallurgy as a steel deoxidizer. Gives the alloy impact resistance and bending brittleness. The surface of ferrosilicomanganese pieces should be free of foreign materials. Traces of non-stick materials (lime, sand), slag film, and single slag inclusions are allowed. The mass of inclusions should not exceed 0.5% of the batch mass.
