There are often traces of sulfur in brass. The addition of manganese causes MnS to be formed. This reduces the risk of cracking.

When manganese is added to brass, it can help improve the strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance of the alloy. It can also help reduce the likelihood of dezincification, which is a form of corrosion that can occur in brass. Additionally, manganese can help stabilize the microstructure of the brass, making it more consistent and reliable.
