Welcome to Manganese University

While manganese is the core driver of our daily operations, to the general public manganese remains a mystery. That's why we formed Manganese University - MnU for short - to share information and resources about the chemical that truly makes the world a stronger place.
Noted on the periodic table of elements as Mn, manganese is found naturally in the earth as an ore as well as in foods such as mustard, kale, chard and even raspberries. It is essential for good nutrition - as well as quality steel products. In steel, manganese increases: tensile strength, toughness, stiffness, wear resistance and hardenability. - all properties that improve building product technology, efficiency and safety.
