Manganin izita rekutengesa kune alloy inowanzoita 86% yemhangura, 12% manganese, uye 2% nickel. Yakatanga kuvandudzwa naEdward Weston muna 1892, ichivandudza paConstantan yake (1887).

A resistance alloy ine mwero resistivity uye yakaderera tembiricha coefficent. The resistance/temperature curve haina kutsetseka semaconstantans kana kuti corrosion resistance properties haina kunaka.

Manganin foil newaya zvinoshandiswa mukugadzira zvinopikisa, kunyanya ammeter shunts, nekuda kweyeye zero tembiricha coefficient yekupikisa kukosha [1] uye kugadzikana kwenguva refu. Manganin akati wandei anopikisa akashanda sechiyero chepamutemo cheohm muUnited States kubva 1901 kusvika 1990.[2]Manganin wireinoshandiswawo semugadziri wemagetsi mu cryogenic systems, kuderedza kupisa kwekushisa pakati pemapoinzi anoda kubatanidza magetsi.

Manganin inoshandiswawo mumageji ezvidzidzo zvemafungu e-high-pressure shock (seaya anogadzirwa kubva pakuputika kwezvinoputika) nekuti ine low strain sensitivity asi yakakwira hydrostatic pressure sensitivity.
