Abstract
This report focuses on the study of the global chromium markets. It provides
region analysis on chromium production. It features major chromium producers,
prices, supply and demand conditions, international trade, etc. The review
also includes future outlook of the world chromium market. Chromium has a
wide range of uses in chemicals, metals, and refractory materials. Its use in
iron, nonferrous alloys, and steel is for the purpose of enhancing
hardenability or resis-tance to corrosion and oxidation. Production of
stainless steel and nonferrous alloys are two of its more critical
applications. Other applications are in alloy steel, catalysts, leather
proc-essing, pigments, plating of metals, refractories, and surface
treatments.
