What is Ferro Phosphorus?

Ferro Phosphorus (FeP alloy) is an iron-based alloy containing approximately 20%–26% phosphorus. Compared with pure phosphorus, it offers safer handling, easier dosage control, and more stable metallurgical performance, making it suitable for large-scale industrial use.

 

What is Ferro Phosphorus Used For?

Ferro Phosphorus is mainly used to adjust phosphorus content in molten iron or steel.

● Steelmaking

Accurate phosphorus control

Improved machinability in specific steel grades

Stable alloying performance

● Cast Iron & Foundry

Improved melt fluidity

Better casting surface quality

Enhanced wear resistance in gray iron

 

Typical Chemical Composition

Phosphorus (P): 20%–26%
