MANGANESE IN ALUMINIUM

Aluminium and manganese are often used together in alloys because they complement each other’s properties.

Aluminium provides lightness and ductility, while manganese adds strength, corrosion resistance, and workability. Together, they form alloys widely used in construction, transportation, and some packaging applications, making them a key material combination in modern industry.

Aluminum-manganese alloys and aluminum-manganese-magnesium alloys, are commonly used in beverage cans (one of the most important markets for aluminum) thanks to the fact that such cans can be recycled.
