Ferrophosphorus is a ferroalloy, an alloy of iron and phosphorus. It contains high proportion of iron phosphides, During the production of steel, Ferro Phosphorus is generated as a by-product. It skims from the top of the slag in the conversion process of pig iron.Phosphorus is a Ferro alloy composed of iron and phosphorus in which the phosphorus content defines the quality of the product, ranging between 23% and 32%.

Applications:
This iron and phosphorous combination has several applications, for instance it can be used:

• The manufacturing of phosphorous castings
• The manufacturing of High-Strength special Steels Low-Alloy (HSLA)
• Its ability to be used as a deoxidizing agent in steels
• As a manufacturing drying agent.
• As an ingredient in high-strength low-alloy steel
• As a dehydrating agent for removing water at the time duration of the alloy formation
