phosphorous might add increased atmospheric corrosion resistance, however, it may be more prone to stress corrosion cracking because of the increased hardness. In general phosphorous adds strength, but reduces ductility / makes the steel more brittle; in amounts less than 0.30% it has little effect on the weldability of low-carbon steel.

What element causes the known as cold shortness in steel?
phosphorus
What results when phosphorus and si are combined?
phosphorus-doped silicon ( n-type semiconductor) can be be produced by adding phosphorus to silicon to obtain a mixture, then heating and melting the obtained mixture. Or add phosphorus to already melted silicon.
Is phosphorus brittle?
Yes, it is the element which made steel so brittle
How do human beings contribute to the phosphorus and sulfur cycles?
adding chemical fertilizers to the soil
What is the reaction if you add Teflon to stainless steel?
The housewives of America will react with gratitude if you do this. Teflon is very inert, as is stainless steel. But adding teflon to a stainless steel pan gives you the advantage of an easy to clean pan with the durability of stainless.
What is the purpose of adding sulferto steel?
Adding sulphur to steel makes it easier to machine but only in controlled amounts. Too much sulphur and it become brittle and can crumble.
What element causes the known as cold shortness in steel?
phosphorus
What has the author A C Steel written?
A C. Steel has written: 'The effects of sulphur and phosphorus on the toughness of mild steel weld metal'

Is phosphorus brittle?
Yes, it is the element which made steel so brittle
How do you reduce high phosphorus in carbon steel?
limestone is used to reduce the phosphurus
How do human beings contribute to the phosphorus and sulfur cycles?
adding chemical fertilizers to the soil
What is the purpose of compression reinforcement in beams?
Steel is stronger than concrete. By adding some reinforcement in the compression zone of a beam, it's bending strength can be increased without increasing the size of the beam. The steel increases the compression strength, while the concrete prevents the slender steel bars from buckling.
Cold shortness in steel?
The steel having this defect cracks when being worked in cold state. This defect is due to presence of excess of phosphorus
What is the purpose of adding sugar to cookie dough?
The purpose is to make it sweet.
What element in steel is non metal?
Steel is made from iron by adding carbon, from 0.2% to 2.14% by weight.
How do you separate copper steel and aluminum metals?
By adding water
