Ferro Phosphorus

1.Introduction
Ferro phosphorus is obtained from phosphorus production in electric furnaces and is a compound containing 20-26% phosphorus and 0.1-6% silicon. It can alter the corrosion resistance and machinability of steel. In the steelmaking industry, ferro phosphorus is used as an alloying agent and can also be used to produce phosphates.

2.Applications
Ferro phosphorus is widely utilized in rolls, automotive cylinder liners, engine camshafts, and large castings to enhance the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of mechanical components. Phosphorus partially dissolves in the ferrite of steel and partially forms brittle compounds. This results in a significant reduction in the plasticity and toughness of the steel at room temperature, while also raising the brittleness transition temperature.
