At the 2011 National Manganese Industry Technology Seminar taking place in Ningxia Autonomous Region in China, it was announced that Tianyuan Manganese Industry Co., the world's largest electrolytic manganese producer, will launch a new color coated stainless steel plate production program with a designed annual capacity of one million mt, which will use rare earth in the production process.
The new project aims to reduce the light reflection of traditional stainless steel plate, while production will be environmentally friendly.
