Origin
South Africa
Applications
Used to harden steel, to manufacture stainless steel, and to form alloys
Refractory Industry uses Chromite for forming bricks and shapes, as it has a high melting point, moderate thermal expansion, and stable crystalline structure.
Temperature-loadable moulding sand in foundry.
