Overview

The element that makes steel strong.

No steel exists without manganese. It is the great deoxidiser and desulphuriser — every tonne of finished steel worldwide contains roughly 6 kg of the metal. VAMM sources directly from India's central-Indian manganese belt — Balaghat, Bhandara, Nagpur and Vizianagaram — where the world's oldest manganese mining operations have produced for over a century.

We carry grades from Mn 35% (ferro-alloy feed) up to Mn 48% (premium steel and battery applications). Phosphorus levels are tightly controlled at under 0.10% for quality-critical users.

Direct mine dispatch by rake, with parcels structured for ferro-alloy smelters, integrated steel plants and export buyers in Southeast Asia.

Manganese
Applications

Where manganese ends up.

Ferro-Manganese

High-carbon and medium-carbon FeMn — the primary manganese carrier for steelmaking.

Silico-Manganese

SiMn for low-carbon steel applications — a single-alloy source of both Mn and Si.

Dry-Cell Batteries

MnO2 feedstock for zinc-carbon and alkaline dry-cell battery manufacturing.

Chemical Manganese

EMM and EMD for electronic-grade manganese — specialty chemistry and electronics.

Specialty Steels

High-strength low-alloy (HSLA) and austenitic stainless steel grades.

Welding Flux

Welding rod coatings and fluxes for stainless and high-manganese weld deposition.

Variants

Five grades, by Mn content.

MN · 48

Premium Grade

48% Mn minimum — battery-grade and premium ferro-alloy feed. Lowest phosphorus (<0.08%).

Mn 48%+P <0.08%
MN · 44

High Grade

44% Mn — premium ferro-alloy smelter feed. Balaghat region origin.

Mn 44%+Fe 8-10%
MN · 40

Standard Grade

40% Mn — the ferro-alloy workhorse. Central Indian origin, consistent supply.

Mn 40%+
MN · 35

Feed Grade

35% Mn — economical ferro-alloy feed for SiMn smelting operations.

Mn 35%+
FINES

Manganese Fines

<10mm fines for sintering and briquetting — ferro-alloy feed at competitive freight.

-10mm
LUMPS

Manganese Lumps

10-75mm lumps for direct smelter charging — calibrated for ferro-alloy SAF furnaces.

10-75mm
Quality & Certifications

Per-rake assay certified.

Every dispatch tested for Mn, Fe, SiO2, Al2O3, P, S, moisture and LOI. XRF and wet chemical methods both accepted.

Phosphorus certification is critical for premium grades — we guarantee P <0.10% across all 40%+ Mn contracts.
