2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Americium metal is produced by bombarding Plutonium with Neutrons.

Americium metal was discovered as a by-product while testing an atomic bomb (Manhattan Project).

Manganese is an essential trace element in all forms of life.
Manganese metal oxidizes very easily, but it does not fuse that easily.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

Americium metal is used in smoke detection alarms.
In the future, this metal has a potential to be used in batteries of spacecrafts.

This metal is very brittle hence it mostly not used as a pure metal, but its alloys are very useful
Its alloy Manganese steel is extremely strong and used in railway tracks, safes, prison bars and riffle barrels.
