Description

This ferroalloy consists of phosphorus, iron and amounts of manganese, silicon, carbon and sulfur. This ferroalloy usually contains 20-25% phosphorus and 69-70% iron. Ferrophosphorus is one of the most widely used ferroalloys used in the production of low-carbon alloy steels, pipes and cast iron parts with desirable mechanical properties. This ferroalloy also reduces casting defects and cracks in cast products by increasing the fluidity of the melt.

Types of ferrophosphorus used in the casting industry:

• Domestic ferrophosphorus
• Imported ferrophosphorus

Ferrophosphorus Applications and Properties:

• Increase hardness and strength in low and medium carbon steels
• Increase corrosion and wear resistance
• Automotive industry for the production of sensitive parts such as exhaust systems and engine components
• Improve corrosion resistance, especially for steel structures exposed to moisture and corrosive environments
• Deoxygenation during the production process and ultimately improve the quality of the final part
• Improve the machinability of cast parts
• Improve the fluidity of the melt, this leads to the ability to accurately cast parts with complex shapes
