Blast Furnace HC Ferromanganese
Blast furnace produced high-carbon ferromanganese averaging 3.2% carbon by weight, used as an additive in stainless steel melting to adjust manganese and carbon content. Its irregular lump shape results from tapping and solidification processes, and it is not usefully malleable, fitting the ferro-alloy definition.
Electric Furnace HC Ferromanganese
High-carbon ferromanganese produced via electric submerged arc furnace, containing more than 4% carbon for desulfurization in steel ladles. The carbon content exceeds 2%, and it is a ferro-alloy, fitting the tariff item's description.
Ferromanganese 75% Mn 2.5% C Lumps
Standard 75% manganese ferromanganese lumps with 2.5% carbon, produced via submerged arc furnace for basic steel desulfurization. The product is a ferro-alloy, not usefully malleable, and contains more than 2% carbon, meeting the tariff item's specification.
Ferromanganese Fines 3.8% C
Crushed ferromanganese fines (<6mm) with 3.8% carbon content, recycled from lump production for ladle metallurgy. Despite the fine size, it remains a ferro-alloy with carbon exceeding 2%, and the size does not affect classification under this tariff item.
Ferromanganese HCFeMn Granules
Granulated high-carbon ferromanganese (HCFeMn) with more than 4% carbon, processed for uniform size and quick dissolution in electric arc furnaces. The granulation does not affect its ferro-alloy status, and the carbon content exceeds 2%.
Foundry HC Ferromanganese Briquettes
Briquetted high-carbon ferromanganese (>4% carbon) for foundry cast iron production, offering dust-free handling and consistent melt addition. The briquetting process does not alter its classification as a ferro-alloy with carbon exceeding 2%.
