Description of Chromium Sheets and Plates
Chromium sheets are produced from cast blocks for use in coating and thin film processes. They are employed in chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and physical vapour deposition (PVD), including thermal evaporation, electron-beam evaporation (E-Beam), organic low-temperature evaporation, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and metalorganic and chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) for specific applications such as fuel cells and solar energy.
Chromium is a lightweight metal that exhibits a blue-silvery-white colour. It is lustrous, hard and brittle, and it possesses high corrosion resistance and a high melting point. It also shows a distinct magnetic behaviour; it is the only elemental solid that demonstrates antiferromagnetic order at or below room temperature.

Applications for Chromium Sheets and Plates
Chromium metal is used for various protective coatings due to its high corrosion resistance. Its resistance to hot gases allows it to be used as a component in high-temperature fuel cells. Chromium is also applied in combustion systems as a wear-resistant coating; this usage helps to extend the service life of certain components.
Chromium metal is employed as a decorative coating for control panels on devices or for jewellery.
Packaging of Chromium Sheets and Plates
Our chromium sheets and plates are clearly marked and labelled externally to support accurate identification and quality control. Care is taken to prevent damage during storage or transport.
