terase tootmisel sulametalli desoksüdeerimisel või sulamite valmistamisel legeerelemendina sisseviidav mangaanirikas sulam (vt ligatuur, desoksüdatsioon)
Good to know
Mangaani ei kasutata sulami põhikomponendina, vaid põhilisandina teistes metallisulamites, nt rauasulamid, messingid, alumiiniumi- ja niklisulamid. (vt mangaanteras, mangaanpronks, melhior)
an alloy used in steel production for deoxidizing of molten metal or in the alloy production instead of pure alloying elements (see: master alloy, deoxidizing)
Good to know
Manganese is not used as the basis of alloys, but is a common constituent in those based on other metals such as ferrous alloys, many varieties of brass, aluminium and nickel-base alloys etc. (see: manganese steel, manganese bronze, melchior)
