Prolonged heating and high temperatures have a very bad effect upon chromium steels.
The combined action of tungsten and chromium in steel gives to it the remarkable property of maintaining its cutting edge at relatively high temperature.
The following table shows the percentages of carbon, manganese, nickel, chromium and vanadium in typical steel alloys for engineering purposes.
The nickel intensifies the physical characteristics of the chromium and the chromium has a similar effect on the nickel.
When chromium is alloyed with tungsten, a very definite red-hardness is noticed with a great increase of cutting efficiency.
Elemental analyses of this deteriorated wood showed high levels of copper, chromium, iron, and lead, suggesting that a caustic chemical spill had occurred.
Results were obtained for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc.
Chromium supplementation in growing goats indicated that the kids were responding normally to this stress.
