CR-102

Chromium powder is a finely divided form of chromium metal (Cr), produced in controlled particle sizes for use in industrial, manufacturing, and research applications. It is valued for its hardness, corrosion resistance, and chemical stability. With a body-centered cubic crystal structure and a melting point of 1875°C (3407°F), chromium metal powder performs reliably under demanding thermal and mechanical conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of high-performance applications.

Chromium powder is hard, lustrous, and dense, with a steel-grey appearance that reflects its structural integrity. It is highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation, maintaining stability even in demanding chemical and thermal environments. Chromium is non-reactive under normal conditions, which contributes to its reliability as an alloying and coating material. It is also wear-resistant, making it well-suited for surface protection applications where durability is critical. In powder form, chromium is fine and controlled in morphology, ensuring consistent performance across electroplating, catalyst, and alloying processes.

Chromium powder is used across a broad range of industrial and manufacturing applications. It serves as an alloying element in the production of stainless steel and high-performance alloys, enhancing corrosion resistance, strength, and heat resistance. In the electroplating industry, it is used as a source material to create protective, decorative, and corrosion-resistant chrome coatings on surfaces such as automotive parts and industrial components. Chromium metal powder is also used in catalyst production, corrosion inhibitor formulations, fuel applications, and in refractory materials designed for high-temperature environments such as industrial furnaces and kilns.

AEE supplies chromium powder with a controlled particle size of 1–5 micron. Controlled particle size is critical in many applications, as it directly affects surface area, reactivity, flow characteristics, and coating uniformity. Contact AEE to discuss whether this particle size range meets your specific requirements.
