Specialty Definition: Spiegeleisen

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Spiegeleisen (German: Spiegel—mirror; Eisen—iron) is a ferromanganese alloy containing approximately 15% manganese and small quantities of carbon and silicon. Historically, this was the standard form in which manganese was traded and used in steel making (see Bessemer process); today, manganese is usually traded and used in more concentrated form, 80% manganese content being typical.
