The role of chromium in stainless steel

Chromium is the most basic alloying element in stainless steel, and its content is generally above 13%. Its main role is to improve the corrosion resistance of steel.

In the oxidizing medium, there is a solid and dense chromium oxide on the surface of the steel to protect the steel.

Chromium dissolved in steel can significantly increase the electrode potential of steel and reduce the electrochemical corrosion caused by different electrode potentials.

Chromium can also be combined with nickel to form a single-phase austenite structure and impart good corrosion resistance, good toughness and strength to steel.

It can be seen that the role of chromium in stainless steel is particularly important. In summary, the role of chromium in metallic materials is very important.We fully realize this, and reasonable use of chromium in various materials can improve the performance of materials.
