Q) What happens when Manganese is added to steel?

  • Decreases strength and hardness of steel
  • improves corrosion resistance
  • decreases ductility
  • improves strength and hardness of steel
Solution:

Manganese is added to improve strength and hardness of steel . Based on Manganese content, steel are classified as Carbon Manganese steel (Mn >1%) and Carbon Steel (Mn <1%). If its content exceeds 1.5%, it increases the formation of martensite and hence decreases ductility and toughness.
