Ferro Phosphorus
PROPERTIES OF FERRO PHOSPHORUS?
Ferro Phosphorus, as an additive to the production process of ferrous metals, will impart several desirable properties upon the resulting alloy. One of the primary benefits of adding Ferro Phosphorus is that it will act as a drying agent which will remove water content from any nitric acid used during manufacturing. Additionally, adding Ferro Phosphorus to an alloy prevents oxidation and the later rusting of metals.
PRODUCTION OF FERRO PHOSPHORUS?
Ferro Phosphorus is a by-product of the steel manufacturing process, as when pig iron is being converted, the conversion process will skim Ferro Phosphorus from the top of the slag. This was first done using the basic Bessemer process or the Thomas process.
