The addition of ferro phosphorus (FeP) can produce the following effects in the steelmaking process,:

Deoxidizer: Ferro Phosphorus reacts with oxygen at high temperatures, has reducing properties, and can be used as a deoxidizer. It can reduce some of the oxides in the steelmaking process to metals, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the steel. Providing alloying elements: The phosphorus in the ferro phosphorus can form alloy phases such as ferro phosphide (Fe3P) with the iron in the steel, increasing the strength and hardness of the steel. Ferro phosphide plays the role of grain boundary strengthening and grain refining in steel, and improves the mechanical properties of steel.

Adjusting the structure and properties of steel: appropriate addition of ferro phosphorus can adjust the structure and properties of steel. The phosphorus element in ferro phosphorus helps to control the grain growth of steel, refine the grain size, and affect the cold working performance, toughness and weldability of steel.

It should be noted that in the alloy design and production of steel, the addition of ferro phosphorus needs to be carefully controlled, because too high or too low phosphorus content can adversely affect the performance of the steel. The specific addition amount and operating conditions should be reasonably controlled according to the specific steel grade, usage and process requirements.
