A manganese ingot is a block of manganese powder processed into a solid mass. It is an important component in the manufacturing of steel, as it removes oxygen and sulfur when iron ore is converted into steel. It is also used in other industries, such as oil refining and in paint and varnish drying.

In the natural environment, manganese is present in many minerals and ores; it is a common element in the ocean floor (especially on the Pacific coast) in the form of polymetallic nodules (concretions of iron, silicon, and aluminum with some manganese). These large nodules can be found in many equatorial areas, and could represent a new source for the metal, as well as for other valuable commodities.

Manganese is a silvery white metal that has a melting point of 1,244 degC (2,271 degF). It is an essential chemical agent in steelmaking and is used as a ferromanganese alloy in some nonferrous alloys.

The most important use of manganese is in the production of steel. It improves the strength, hardness and abrasion resistance of the metal. It is an essential component in the production of low-alloy steel. It is used in the manufacture of armor plate, crusher jaws and impact tools.

Other major uses are in the manufacture of dry-cell batteries, in the production of manganous oxide, and in various chemicals. It is a good reducing agent, and it is added to soils to encourage plant growth.
