Silicon and manganese are common additives in steels.

Silicon improves strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. It decreases magnetic-hysterisis loss, machinability, and cold formability.

Manganese improves hardenability, strength, abrasion resistance, and machinability. It deoxidizes the molten steel, reduces hot shortness, and decreases weldability.
