Development prospect of electrolytic manganese
In steel production, especially suitable for electrolytic manganese smelting alloying element contains more than 10% of the total stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, precision steel, high-temperature steel, corrosion resistant steel "high, fine," such as alloy steel and clean steel smelting low impurity, low harmful elements (∑ P, S, O, N, H, 100 PPM or less), pure steel (∑ P, S, O, N, H, 200 PPM or less), such as steel. According to China's stainless steel, high alloy steel and high quality steel and other special steel production and consumption level of electrolytic manganese, China's stainless steel and other special steel smelting consumption of electrolytic manganese about 160,000 tons in 2004; The chromium and manganese series stainless steel consumption of about 80,000 tons, chromium and manganese stainless steel smelting excess, abnormal consumption of 20,000 to 30,000 tons; Cr-Ni series stainless steel, chromium series stainless steel, heat resistant stainless steel, precision alloy steel, high temperature alloy steel, corrosion resistant alloy steel and other excellent special steel and other steel consumption of about 50,000 tons.
According to our country national economy and macro iron and steel industry development trend, in 2005, and even the future for a period of time such as stainless steel special steel industry is in the midst of the rise time, the domestic stainless steel industry, production capacity, output and market demand is high speed development, the high-end products such as stainless steel alloy structual smelting demand for electrolytic manganese, overall still remain strong. At the same time, with the iron and steel enterprises to further increase the structural adjustment and optimization of steel varieties, in the future, China's stainless steel, special steel and other high value-added, high technical content of high-quality steel production will have a large increase, no doubt electrolytic manganese in high quality steel smelting consumption will also have a relatively large incremental space.
To grasp the development of electrolytic manganese industry, the downstream manufacturers are naturally closely related. In addition to 200 stainless steel, electrolytic manganese is also used in the production of special and excellent steel, which can also be used in manganese ingot or cheaper high carbon ferromanganese. Global annual special steel production to use 70,000-80,000 tons of electrolytic manganese, manganese-aluminum alloy with about 10,000 to 20,000 tons of manganese, Mn3O4 and other magnetic materials with about 50,000-60,000 tons of manganese, the global total demand is about 450-500,000 tons, domestic demand is about 150-200,000 tons.
