Default Manganese
I can't quote figures here but I can say that the iron in the Wupper Valley had a very high Manganese content which reputedly accounted for some of the reason for fine blades.
I notice that the WS manganese content is very low compared to the rest of the steels.
Did Solingen eventually need to import their ore?
Does anyone know if the Danemora iron had high manganese?
