In 2024, the secondary production of the transition metal chromium in the United States amounted to an estimated 100,000 metric tons, which was a decrease of about * metric tons compared to the previous year. Chromium is the main additive in stainless steel because it provides anti-corrosive properties, and it is considered valuable because it can be polished to a high degree while being tarnish resistant. It is listed as a critical mineral in the U.S.
