What is ferro phosphorus used for?
What is the main use of ferrophosphorus?
Fephosphorus is obtained from phosphorus electric furnaces. It is a symbiotic compound containing 26-28% phosphorus and 0.1-6% silicon. Ferrophosphorus is used as an alloying agent in the steelmaking industry and can also produce phosphates. It is used as an alloy additive and deoxidizer in metallurgy. In general steel products, phosphorus is a harmful component, but in some special products, the addition of phosphorus can improve certain aspects of the performance of steel.
Ferrophosphorus is widely used in rolling mills, automobile cylinder liners, engine rollers and large castings to increase the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of mechanical parts. Phosphorus is partially dissolved in ferrite in steel, and partially forms very brittle compounds. The plasticity and toughness of steel at room temperature are sharply reduced, and the brittle transition temperature is increased. Ferrophosphorus can be used to make the shells of grenades, shells, etc. Because of its brittleness, a large number of shrapnel can be obtained after the explosion, which improves the killing efficiency.
In the medium and long term, silicon manganese and ferrosilicon can make their own contributions to the steel smelting industry, and there is still room for profit margins. In the short term, the supply side of silicon manganese and ferrosilicon needs to obtain normal profits to increase the operating rate and gradually make up for the market inventory to a healthy state. It is expected that the price will have a certain upward momentum. In terms of arbitrage strategy, we still recommend going long on the ferrosilicon-silicon manganese spread.
