What is Spiegel?

Explanation:

• Spiegel is the type of iron which is obtained from pig and it is rich in manganese and carbon.
• Spiegel was used earlier times, it was the standard form in which manganese was traded and was used for making of steel.
• Manganese is useful as it is used for steel manufacture because it binds with phosphorous, Sulphur and silica.
• Spiegeleisen is an alloy with 5- 15% manganese and 60% of carbon.
• It is ferromanganese.
• The origin of this word is from Germany.
• It is also added to remove the oxygen which is left in the steel from the bast of air and hence it prevent the formation of blow holes.

Hence, this is Spiegel.
