Metallurgical Additives Ferrophosphorus / FeP/ Ferro Phosphorus FF24
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.
Ferrophosphorus is primarily used in the steel industry as an alloying agent. It helps improve the mechanical properties of steel, such as its tensile strength, hardness, and wear resistance. Additionally, it can enhance the steel's ability to resist corrosion, making it suitable for applications in various industries, including automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
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.
