CHROMIUM METAL

Chromium metal with a purity exceeding 99% is primarily used to introduce high-grade chromium into specialty steels, without adding excessive iron or other impurities.

Key Characteristics

Low Carbon Content

Carbon levels are significantly lower than standard grades, enhancing suitability for high-performance and high-end steel applications.

Controlled Production Process

1The manufacturing process is tightly controlled to ensure minimal impurity levels and consistent quality. 

Typical Specifications:

Cr: 99.00% min

C: 0.01% max

Fe: 0.25% max

Si: 0.10% max

P: 0.005% max

S: 0.01% max

Al: 0.1% max

N: 0.03% max

O: 0.1% max
