Steelmaking Ferrophosphorus / FeP / Ferro Phosphorus Powder
Ferrophosphorus is a compound composed of iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P). It is commonly used as an alloying element in the production of steel. By adding ferrophosphorus to steel, various desirable properties can be achieved, such as increased strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
Ferrophosphorus is typically produced by heating a mixture of iron ore, phosphorus-rich materials (such as phosphoric acid or phosphate rock), and a reducing agent (such as coke or charcoal) in a furnace. The high temperatures cause the reduction of iron and phosphorus compounds, resulting in the formation of ferrophosphorus.
The exact composition of ferrophosphorus can vary depending on the specific manufacturing process and the desired properties of the steel being produced. However, it generally contains a significant amount of iron and phosphorus, with typical compositions ranging from 15% to 30% phosphorus. The remaining composition consists of other elements and impurities.
Product Function
1.Mainly used for alloy agent and deoxidizer in the metallurgical industry special steel.
2.Widely used in rolls, automotive cylinder liners, engine tollers and large castings to increase the cossion resistance and wear
resistance of mechanical components.
3.Phosphorus is partially soluble in ferrite in steel, can reduces the ductility and toughness of steel and increase the brittle transition.

Applications
Ferrophosphorus, as an alloying element, finds several applications in the steel industry and other related sectors. Here are some common applications:
Steel production: Ferrophosphorus is primarily used as an alloying agent in the production of steel. It is added to steel during the refining process to enhance its mechanical properties. It improves the steel's strength, hardness, and wear resistance, making it suitable for various applications.
Automotive industry: Ferrophosphorus is used in the manufacturing of automotive components and parts. It helps in producing high-strength and wear-resistant steel used in engine parts, gears, axles, and transmission components. The addition of ferrophosphorus improves the durability and performance of these parts.
Corrosion-resistant applications: Ferrophosphorus-containing steel exhibits improved corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications in corrosive environments. It is used in industries such as marine, chemical, and oil and gas, where resistance to corrosion is crucial.
Packaging:Dark gray luster, 10-100mm granularity, polyethylene plastic bags, net weight of 1000KG per bag, gross weight of 1003KG per bag.
