Properties, Storage and Cautions:
Chromium nanopowder is highly reactive and flammable, so it must be handled carefully. Rapid movements and vibrations should be avoided. The powder must be protected from sunlight, heat, moisture, and physical impacts. Because particle coagulation is a significant issue, Cr powder should be sealed under vacuum and stored in cool, dry conditions. Air exposure should be avoided.
Applications:
Chromium is an extremely hard metal and, in nanopowder form, is widely used in applications requiring high mechanical strength. It is suitable for use in ceramics, cutting and shaping tools, and the steel industry.
