Uses: Manganese is indispensable to iron and steel production. It has a great benefit due to its sulfur-fixing, deoxidizing, and alloying properties. Steelmaking, accounts for most manganese demand, presently in the range of 85% to 90% of the total demand, worldwide. It is also a component of low-cost stainless steel formulations. it is often found in combination with iron and in many minerals. Manganese is a metal with important industrial metal alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels.

Small amounts of manganese improve the workability of steel at high temperatures, because it forms a high-melting sulfide and therefore prevents the formation of a liquid iron sulfide at the grain boundaries. Steel containing 8 to 15% of manganese can have a high tensile strength of up to 863 MPa. Steel with 12% manganese was used for protection.

Applications of Manganese

One of the most utilized options against rust & corrosion prevention

A preferred product in the steel industry. 
Manganese particles are also used industrially as pigments

They inherently possess various colours.

For zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries, manganese dioxide is used as the cathode (electron acceptor) material

Physical properties:

A silvery-grey metal that resembles iron. It is hard and very brittle, Difficult to fuse, but easy to oxidize.

Tarnishes slowly in air and "rusts" like iron, if dissolved in water containing oxygen.

It is the 12th most abundant mineral in the world

Has a close relation to iron ore
