High-Manganese Spiegeleisen Pig

Spiegeleisen in pig form containing high levels of manganese and silicon, used primarily as a ferroalloy additive in steel production to enhance deoxidation and desulfurization. It falls under HTS 7201.50.60.00 as spiegeleisen, a specific type of high-manganese, high-silicon pig iron designed for alloying purposes in primary form. This classification distinguishes it from standard pig iron due to its specialized composition.

Standard Spiegeleisen Sows

Large sow-shaped castings of spiegeleisen, a high-silicon, high-manganese pig iron used in foundries for gray iron production. HTS 7201.50.60.00 applies to this primary form spiegeleisen, distinct from other alloy pig irons by its specific mirror-like fracture and composition. Essential for introducing alloying elements during melting.

Silico-Manganese Spiegeleisen Block

Spiegeleisen cast into blocks with elevated silicon and manganese content, serving as a nodulizing agent in cast iron production. Classified under HTS 7201.50.60.00 for its primary form and spiegeleisen composition as defined in Chapter 72. It provides essential alloying elements without further working.

Foundry-Grade Spiegeleisen Pigs

Spiegeleisen pigs optimized for foundry use, with controlled manganese and silicon for consistent nodulization in ductile iron. This primary form product is specifically HTS 7201.50.60.00 as spiegeleisen, per US note definitions excluding further surface treatments. Critical for high-quality castings in automotive parts.
