Manganese

Manganese metal is the fourth most widely consumed metal after iron, aluminium and copper. 90% of the world's manganese ore production (metallurgical grade) is consumed by the steel industry, mainly in the form of ferromanganese or silico-manganese. Most of the remaining 10% (chemical grade) is used as chemical dioxide for the manufacture of dry batteries, and a very small percentage as chemical additives in paints, brick colouring, fertilisers and pet feed.
