Chromium

Chromium sputtering targets are used to create thin films for decorative coatings, hard wear-resistant layers, and as adhesion layers in microelectronics.

Chromium is a primary alloying element in stainless steel and superalloys to provide corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength.

Chromium is utilized in optical coatings to create reflective surfaces and as a masking material in photolithography.

High-purity chromium pellets and pieces are used as evaporation materials for physical vapor deposition to form thin metallic films.

Chromium and chromium carbide powders are used in thermal spray processes to provide surface protection against wear, erosion, and high-temperature oxidation.
