[Silicon-manganese alloy] American market silicomanganese shortage of resources

U.S. market silicomanganese insufficient supply situation prompted some buyers up with the high-carbon ferromanganese and ferrosilicon of synthetics as a replacement of silicomanganese began.
Russia at the 1911 state company ERAMET MARIETTA March 8 was forced to suspend work due to fire, silicomanganese consignor and declared force majeure at the state, so far still in the recovery period. but even after the resumption of production still needs some time to the customer invoice, which has led to the American market silicomanganese tight supply, prices are rising fast. 2% carbon content of supply because of the rise in the price of 72-74 dollars / pounds, current prices stabilized at 65 -68 cents / lb, in which prior to 46-49 cents / lb.
We are paying close attention to the production company ERAMET MARIETTA resumption of progress, Industry sources say that to solve the problem of insufficient supply, some buyers still using high-carbon ferromanganese and ferrosilicon of synthetics, Although high-carbon ferromanganese strong demand, price increases, but at least the ability to buy either.
