Chromium Rod

Chromium Rod and Bar Description

Chromium is a steely-grey, lustrous, and hard metal that has a high melting point. It resists tarnishing and exhibits a mirror-like polish. When left exposed to air, Chromium metal is passivated by oxidation, forming a thin and protective surface layer. This layer, while only a few molecules thick, is very dense, and prevents the diffusion of oxygen into the underlying metal. This protective, insoluble oxide coating is what makes the metal inherently resistant to corrosion, and along with the metal's hardness, contributes to the qualities of stainless steel (an alloy which contains chromium).

With high surface hardness and corrosion resistance, rods of chromium are often used as piston rods for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, in engines; in electronics and fuel cells, as well in biomedical applications.
