Posco has succeeded first in the world in commercializing the processing technology to produce liquid ferromanganese steel by using liquid ferromanganese (FeMn). 

The research center of Posco has completed testing the commercialization technology and delivered it, for production, to its steel plate factory in Gwangyang, South Jeolla Province on April 12, the company said. 

The latest technology has opened a new era of producing high manganese materials by making a success in commercializing the technology through investment of a total of 55 billion won (US$49 million) over the past three years since 2013.

As Posco developed its own POSCO Liquid Manganese (PosLM), the steelmaker came to be able to store liquid ferromanganese, which enables it to halve the time required for high manganese steel production and enhance the production efficiency for steel slab by 10 percent.
