| Abstract Scope |
Ferromanganese (FeMn) is an alloy typically used to enhance the wear resistance of steels and is usually produced with high-energy systems. In this study, significant energy savings were achieved by using the combustion synthesis method. Optimum yields for FeMn production were determined with varying aluminum stoichiometries. Additionally, mill scale was used as a source to obtain the Fe structure in the alloy, allowing for the evaluation of waste material. Magnetite was also employed as an iron oxide source, and the yields were compared with those from mill-scale compounds. The produced materials were characterized using XRD, optical microscopy, and hardness testing methods. The results showed the highest efficiency was achieved with 110% Al stock, yielding 98.58% for Fe and 85% for Mn. The hardness value of the same sample was the highest at 64.65 HRC. |
