Abstract

Ferromanganese (FeMnFeMn) is an alloy typicallyMill Scale used to enhance the wear resistance of steels and is usually produced with high-energyEnergy systems. In this study, significant energyEnergy savings were achieved by using the combustion synthesis method. Optimum recoveries for FeMnFeMn production were determined with varying aluminum stoichiometries. Additionally, mill scaleMill Scale was used as a source to obtain the Fe structure in the alloy, allowing for the evaluation of waste material. MagnetiteMagnetite was also employed as an iron oxide source, and the recoveries were compared with those from mill-scale compounds. The produced materials were characterized using XRD, optical microscopy, and hardness testing methods. The results showed that the highest efficiency was achieved with 110% Al stock, recovery 98.58% for Fe, and 85% for Mn. The hardness value of the same sample was the highest at 64.65 HRC.
