Manganese and Mend ?

44 charm
55 mend?
49 manganate?

[elliemay1]

repair= mend??

[ladyalex]

55a looks like mend which would rule out magnesium.
Could the metallic element be MANGANESE ?

It is a puzzle....but I have a vague memory of travelling home on the last train after a jolly evening out with my chums and completing an entire crossword puzzle with answers that i fitted into the grid, no matter the letter count.
Sweet memories of youth....

[elliemay1]

Yes, shoota. I knew I'd seen 'tungsten' answered before.
