chromium

Steel alloy ingredient

Chromium is a hard, silvery metallic element used primarily in alloys—most notably stainless steel, where it provides corrosion resistance.

Chrome plating deposits a thin layer of chromium on surfaces for a bright, mirror-like finish: chrome bumpers, chrome fixtures.

Chromium compounds produce vivid pigments.

In computing, Chromium is the open-source browser project underlying Google Chrome.
