Thick chromium deposits were prepared by the electrolysis of aqueous chromic acid baths. Metal containing 0.005% oxygen, less than 0.002% nitrogen, and only traces of metallic impurities was obtained upon electrolysis of purified solutions at elevated temperatures. After consumable electrode arc‐melting, this type of chromium could be hot‐worked to rod and drawn to wire that was ductile at room temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
