The Stabilising Force in Advanced Metallurgy and Energy
Manganese is an essential transition metal, prized for its ability to improve the hardenability, tensile strength, and electrochemical stability of alloy systems. While it is a cornerstone of the global steel industry, its most advanced applications are found in high-performance structural alloys and the next generation of energy storage. Less Common Metals (LCM) specialises in the Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) of specialty Manganese-based alloys, integrating transition metals and rare earth elements (REs). Our UK-based manufacturing facility ensures high-purity control, particularly for “battery-grade” precursors and complex intermetallics where interstitial impurities must be kept to a minimum.
