Chrome ore is a type of mineral frequently used in industrial applications.
This ore, whose primary component is the chromite mineral (FeCr₂O₄), is the main source of chromium. Chromium, a bright, silvery-gray metal, is highly valued across various fields due to its high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and hardness. These properties make chromium an essential element, particularly in the metal industry, stainless steel production, protective coatings, and pigments.
