Applications: Chromium and its powders are typically used in pigments, dyes, corrosion/oxidation resistant plating and coating (for critical equipment), H.I.P., refractory products, super alloys, stainless steel, electronics, sputtering source, magnetic storing materials, batteries, catalysts, welding alloys, and thin film for electronics. Chromium metal quickly became an indispensable ingredient in various industrial materials because of its unique characteristics. Examples of these applications include stainless steel, super alloys, aluminum alloys, and electronics. High grade stainless steels, made possible by additions of chromium metal, are essential to the safe and environmentally sound operation of chemical plants, nuclear power generation facilities, food processing operations, and other critical industries. Chromium metal is also a fundamental ingredient in various types of super alloys which are essential to the aerospace and nuclear power industries. Recently, chromium metal ion plating has become an environmentally sound alternative to traditional chromium plating methods.
Other applications include electronic substrates and protective coatings.
