Eramet Marietta's From Ground to Guardrail: Manganese Mining, Smelting & Manufacturing

FROM GROUND TO GUARDRAIL: ERAMET Manganese Mining, Smelting and Manufacturing in 10 Steps МАR ТЕТ ТА STEP 1. MINING STEP 2. SHIPPING STEP 3. MIXING STEP 4. SMELTING STEP 5. ΤΑΡΡING Manganese ore is sent to the mixhouse, where it is combined with other raw materials based Once the manganese alloys have reached a desired temperature and stage of processing, the furnace is tapped and molten material flows from The "Mix" is then added to a Manganese ore from the Comilog mine in Moanda, Gabon, Africa is carefully extracted from the earth and sent across Once in the US, the ore travels by barge upon our nation's waterways to the Eramet Marietta facility located on the Ohio River. When upon a unique recipe created by metallurgical engineers to prepare manganese alloys. Eramet Marietta makes submerged arc electric furnace, where it is "smelted". Smelting is a process of heating ore and reacting it with other materials to remove impurities and extract a more pure form of the metal. the country via rail to the port of Owendo, where it is loaded onto ships and sent the ore makes it to the plant, it is off-loaded and moved to the Raw Material Yard for storage. the furnace into a ladle. Impurities, which rise to the top, are poured off of the product into a series of cascading "slag" pots. both silicomanganese and refined REFINING: to the US. ferromanganese. TO MAKE REFINED FERROMANGANESE, AFTER SMELTING THE MOLTEN METAL UNDERGOES AN OXYGEN SPARGGING PROCESS WHICH HELPS TO FURTHER PURIFY THE PRODUCT. STEP 6. CASTING STEP 9. PACKING & SHIPPING STEP 7. STEP 8. CRUSHING STEP 10. IMPLEMENTING MANGANESE MANGANESE COOLING Once the product is separated from the impurities or “slag," it is poured into prepared casting beds to mold into a workable shape. Once the manganese alloy is cast, and initially cooled, it is transported to the Product Yard to continue cooling. Cooled product slabs are transported to the crusher system where they are broken into a variety of sizes according to customer specifications. Manganese alloys are packaged when necessary and shipped to customers, most of which are located within 500 miles of the plant. An important raw material in the steel-making process, manganese adds tensile strength and hardness, making steel stronger and less brittle. Everything made with steel, also has manganese in it. MANGANESE IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF STEEL. ERAMET MARIETTA'S TOTAL PLANT ELECTRICITY USAGE IS ABOUT 60 MWATTS, WHICH WOULD POWER APPROXIMATELY 30,000 HOMES. THE PLANT'S FURNACES EACH RUN BETWEEN 20-30 MW DEPENDING UPON PRODUCT, LOAD, ETC. A FURNACE RUNNING 30 MW WOULD POWER ABOUT 15,000 HOMES. MARIETTA, WHERE THE FACILITY IS LOCATED, HAS A POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 14,000 PEOPLE. FACT: TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE ELECTRIC ARC FURNACES AT ERAMET MARIETTA REACH BETWEEN WWW.ERAMETMARIETTA.COM 1,500 TO 1,600-DEGREES C. FOR REFINING, THAT TEMPERATURE INCREASES BY A FEW HUNDRED DEGREES. •.................... FROM GROUND TO GUARDRAIL: ERAMET Manganese Mining, Smelting and Manufacturing in 10 Steps МАR ТЕТ ТА STEP 1.
