Description

Products Description

Ferro phosphorus is added to the steelmaking process as a desulfurizing agent. It reacts with sulfur present in the molten metal, forming iron sulfide (FeS), which has a higher melting point than the steel. As a result, the iron sulfide floats to the surface of the molten metal, allowing it to be easily removed.

The phosphorus content in ferro phosphorus also helps improve the overall quality of the steel. It can act as a deoxidizer, removing oxygen from the molten metal and reducing the formation of undesirable oxides. Additionally, phosphorus can enhance the strength and hardness of the steel.

It's worth noting that the addition of ferro phosphorus should be carefully controlled to avoid exceeding the desired sulfur levels, as excessive phosphorus content can also have negative effects on the steel's properties.

Overall, ferro phosphorus is a commonly used additive in the steel industry for sulfur control, helping to produce high-quality steel with the desired properties.
