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 uye waya inoshandiswa mukugadzira resistors, kunyanya ammetershunts, nekuda kweiyo 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 wire inoshandiswawo seyemagetsi conductor mune cryogenic system, kuderedza kupisa kwekutamisa 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.
