Chromium is a hard transition metal best known for forming adherent, protective oxide films and for giving many minerals and compounds strong colors. It occurs mainly in chromite ores and is an important alloying element in stainless and heat-resisting steels. Its chemistry spans several oxidation states, especially +3 and +6, with a sharp contrast between relatively stable Cr(III) compounds and strongly oxidizing, often toxic Cr(VI) species.
Chromium is used extensively in automobile trim as chromium metal because of its shiny finish and corrosion resistance.
The name derives from the Greek chroma for "colour", from the many coloured compounds of chromium. It was discovered in 1797 by the French chemist and pharmacist Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin, who also isolated chromium in 1798.
Chromium was discovered by Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin while experimenting with a material known as Siberian red lead, also known as the mineral crocoite (PbCrO4), in 1797. He produced chromium oxide (CrO3) by mixing crocoite with hydrochloric acid (HCl). Although he believed a method for isolating chromium didn't yet exist, Vauquelin was pleasantly surprised in 1798 to discover that he was able to obtain metallic chromium by simply heating chromium oxide in a charcoal oven. Today, chromium is primarily obtained by heating the mineral chromite (FeCr2O4) in the presence of aluminum or silicon.
From the Greek word chroma, color. Chromium is a steel-gray, lustrous, hard metal that takes a high polish. Discovered in 1797 by the Frenchman Louis Nicolas Vauquelin.
Pure chromium is a lustrous, silvery-gray metal with a high polish and a relatively high melting point. It is hard and brittle at room temperature, and its surface is rapidly passivated by a very thin oxide layer that resists further corrosion under many conditions.
The largest use of chromium is in ferrochrome for stainless steel, where chromium provides corrosion resistance by forming a passive surface film. It is also used in tool steels, superalloys, wear-resistant coatings, and hard chromium electroplating. Chromium compounds have been used in pigments, leather tanning, wood preservation, catalysts, and refractory materials, although several Cr(VI)-based uses have been restricted or replaced because of toxicity and environmental persistence.
Chromium is a blue-white metal that is hard, brittle and very corrosion resistant. Chromium can be polished to form a very shiny surface and is often plated to other metals to form a protective and attractive covering. Chromium is added to steel to harden it and to form stainless steel, a steel alloy that contains at least 10% chromium. Other chromium-steel alloys are used to make armor plate, safes, ball bearings and cutting tools.
Chromium forms many colorful compounds that have industrial uses. Lead chromate (PbCrO4), also known as chrome yellow, has been used as a yellow pigment in paints. Chromic oxide (Cr2O3), also known as chrome green, is the ninth most abundant compound in the earth's crust and is a widely used green pigment. Rubies and emeralds also owe their colors to chromium compounds. Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) is used in the tanning of leather while other chromium compounds are used as mordants, materials which permanently fix dyes to fabrics. Chromium compounds are also used to anodize aluminum, a process which coats aluminum with a thick, protective layer of oxide. Chromite, chromium's primary ore, is used to make molds for the firing of bricks because of its high melting point, moderate thermal expansion and stable crystal structure.
Chromium is used to harden steel, manufacture stainless steel, and form many useful alloys. It is mostly used in plating to produce a hard, beautiful surface and to prevent corrosion. Chromium gives glass an emerald green color and is widely used as a catalyst.
The refractory industry uses chromite for forming bricks and shapes, as it has a high melting point, moderate thermal expansion, and stability of crystalline structure.
Isotopes in Earth/Planetary Science
Molecules, atoms, and ions of the stable isotopes of chromium possess slightly different physical and chemical properties, and they commonly will be fractionated during physical, chemical, and biological processes, giving rise to variations in isotopic abundances and in atomic weights. There are measureable variations in the isotopic abundances of chromium in natural terrestrial materials (Fig. IUPAC.24.1).
SiC grains are formed in very high-temperature events that occurred before the formation of the Solar System. The chemical and isotopic composition of certain elements in these grains, such as chromium, provides insights into the origin of the Solar System. The 54Cr nucleus is only produced by supernovae. Excess amounts of this isotope in the SiC grains (relative to terrestrial isotopic composition) in primitive meteorites suggest a heterogeneous distribution of 54Cr in the early Solar System and different sources of material to our Solar System [206] L. Qin, L. R. Nittler, C. M. O. D. Alexander, J. Wang, F. J. Stadermann, R. W. Carlson. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta.75, 629 (2010).. The early solar nebula was divided into two components. One contained chromium depleted in the lighter isotopes and the other contained heavier chromium isotopes. Isotopic studies indicate these components formed a homogeneous mixture in the early Earth, but they separated during partitioning of the Earth’s core (Fig. IUPAC.24.1) [207] F. Moynier, Q. Z. Yin, E. Schauble. Science331, 1417 (2011)., [208] W. F. McDonough. Science331, 1397 (2011)..
Mobility and toxicity of chromium metal depend largely on the oxidation state of the element. Isotopes of chromium are fractionated by reduction-oxidation (redox) chemical reactions. The isotopic composition has been used to trace the origin of the element in the environment and provide information on reduction-oxidation chemical processes [209] A. S. Ellis, T. M. Johnson, T. D. Bullen. Science295, 2060 (2002)..
Isotopes in Medicine
Stable isotopes of chromium are used to investigate the metabolism of chromium (III), which is an essential nutrient. Chromium stable isotopes (53Cr and 54Cr) have been administered to patients and the relative metabolic activity of each isotope is measured to study insulin function in patients suffering from diabetes (a disease in which the body is unable to produce any or enough insulin, and/or is not able to properly use the insulin that it does produce, resulting in elevated levels of glucose in the blood) [210] H. M. Silver, M. A. Seebeck, R. M. Cowett, K. Y. Patterson, C. Veillon. J. Soc. Gynecol. Investig.4, 254 (1997).. 51Cr and 53Cr have been used to label red blood cells to determine blood volume and life-time of red blood cells in the body [210] H. M. Silver, M. A. Seebeck, R. M. Cowett, K. Y. Patterson, C. Veillon. J. Soc. Gynecol. Investig.4, 254 (1997)..
Chromium forms compounds in oxidation states from negative values in organometallic chemistry to +6, but +3 and +6 dominate common inorganic chemistry. Chromium(III) oxide, Cr₂O₃, is a stable green solid and an important pigment and refractory material. Chromium(VI) oxide, CrO₃, chromates such as potassium chromate, K₂CrO₄, and dichromates such as potassium dichromate, K₂Cr₂O₇, are strong oxidants. Chromium(II) chloride, CrCl₂, is a reducing Cr(II) salt used in specialized synthesis.
All compounds of chromium are colored. The most important chromates are those of sodium and potassium, the dichromates, and the potassium and ammonium chrome alums. The dichromates are used as oxidizing agents in quantitative analysis, also in tanning leather.
Other compounds are of industrial value; lead chromate is chrome yellow, a valued pigment. Chromium compounds are used in the textile industry as mordants, and by the aircraft and other industries for anodizing aluminum.
See more information at the Chromium compound page.
Metallic chromium is not highly reactive in bulk form, but dusts and fumes from welding, grinding, or plating operations can be hazardous. Soluble Cr(VI) compounds are toxic, corrosive, sensitizing, and carcinogenic by inhalation, and they require strict exposure control. Cr(III) compounds are generally less mobile and less toxic, although concentrated salts and fine powders still present chemical and occupational hazards.
Chromium compounds are toxic and should be handled with proper safeguards.
Chromium is a natural trace constituent of rocks, soils, and sediments, commonly associated with ultramafic rocks and chromite minerals. In the environment, Cr(III) tends to form insoluble hydroxides and complexes with organic matter, while Cr(VI) oxyanions are more mobile in oxygenated waters. Industrial releases from plating, tanning, pigment manufacture, and waste disposal have produced localized contamination where redox conditions control persistence and transport.
Chromium is produced chiefly by mining chromite ore and reducing it to ferrochrome for steelmaking. South Africa, Kazakhstan, India, Turkey, and several other countries are important sources of chromite, so supply is tied to ore quality, energy costs, and metallurgical capacity. Demand is dominated by stainless steel production, with smaller markets for chemicals, refractories, and plating. Recycling occurs mainly through stainless steel and alloy scrap, which returns chromium to steel production and reduces dependence on primary ore.
The principal ore is chromite, which is found in Zimbabwe, Russia, New Zealand, Turkey, Iran, Albania, Finland, Democratic Republic of Madagascar, and the Phillippines. The metal is usually produced by reducing the oxide with aluminum.
Chromium is a minor but widespread element in the cosmos, made mainly in massive stars and supernova nucleosynthesis near the iron peak. It is present in the Sun, meteorites, and rocky planetary materials. Isotopic ratios of chromium in meteorites are used in cosmochemistry to trace early Solar System reservoirs and nucleosynthetic contributions.
- The name chromium comes from the Greek word for color, reflecting its vividly colored compounds.
- Ruby owes its red color to trace Cr³⁺ substituting for aluminum in corundum.
- Chrome plating can be decorative, but engineering hard chrome is used mainly for wear resistance.
- Passivation by chromium oxide is the key reason stainless steel does not behave like ordinary carbon steel.
- Lead chromate, PbCrO₄, was once a major yellow pigment but is now restricted in many applications.
- Chromium metal is usually traded through ferrochrome rather than as pure metal.
