Electrolytic Chromium Powder and Granules

Electrolytic Chromium Powder and Granules

01
Description
JSC POLEMA produces electrolytic chromium powders and granules of various chemical composition and grain size.
02
specifications

Powders and granules are mechanically ground from electrolytic refined chromium material of the appropriate purity, subsequently sieved into the required particle size.

Electrolytic refined chromium powders are used for production of targets.

Electrolytic refined chromium granules are used as evaporated sources for applying chromium coatings in vacuum.

miscellaneous
JSC POLEMA is the world's largest producer of electrolytic chromium, unique in purity.

Applications vary from metallurgy of heat–resistant superalloys, electrical engineering in compositions with copper, and deposition of thin films and functional coatings using PVD methods, to production of electronic components, large-format displays, tools, watch cases, household appliances, tinted glasses, car parts and accessories, machines and appliances, as well as others.

In thin-film deposition in vacuum by means of thermal evaporation electrolytic refined chromium is used in flake or granule form, by means of ion bombardment spraying or arc evaporation – in the form of various compacted products. For target production by powder metallurgy (PM) methods chromium ERCr in flake form is mechanically ground into MP-ERCr powder.
