metallic element, 1807, Latinized from French chrome (Fourcroy and Haüy), from Greek chroma "color" (see chrome; also see chroma). So called for its colorful compounds. Related: Chromite.

metal element with the symbol Cr.

Chromium refers to a pair of open-source projects that power the Google Chrome Web browser and Google Chrome OS. The Chromium project's mission is to build an interface for users to experience th [..]

An alloying element that is the essential stainless steel raw material for conferring corrosion resistance. A film that naturally forms on the surface of stainless steel self-repairs in the presence o [..]

A steel-gray, lustrous, hard and brittle metallic element that takes its name from the Greek word for color--chrome--because of the brilliant colors of its compounds. It is found primarily in chromite [..]

a mineral that, in its trivalent form, is considered nutritionally essential although in trace amounts (25-35 micrograms per day). Chromium has been shown to contribute to glucose metabolism by enhanc [..]

Chromium is a critical alloying ingredient for the production of stainless and hardened steels. It was discovered in 1797 and, like aluminum, it is very resistant to corrosion. It is a silver-gray, lustrous, hard and brittle metal that takes its name from the Greek word for color, khroma. Chromium is extracted primarily from chromite, which is comp [..]

This hard, steely-grey metal, with a high melting point (1,857C), is best known industrially for its role in stainless steel

(n) a hard brittle multivalent metallic element; resistant to corrosion and tarnishing

Healthy nerves, bones, energy production, taste sensitivity. Osteoporosis is one of the early signs of copper deficiency.

Chromium is the most important element in providing corrosion resistance in stainless steel. By adding 12% chromium to ordinary steel, stainless steel is formed. Chromium offsets the corrosive effects [..]

A whte to silver metallic material which is very hard and brittle. Chromium is chemically very resistant. There is little Oxidation in the air. It can be solved by not oxidizing acids like HCL, reacting to chromium salts. Chromium coatings protect very well from oxidation and provide docerative appearance. Chromium coatings can be deposited by galv [..]
