Chromium reacts with oxygen from the atmosphere to form the
oxide Cr2O3, which is a type of metal oxide that is non-destructive
as opposed to iron oxide. This property is used to protect steel
when chromium is added to the molten metal to form an alloy with up
to 30% chromium and is commonly known as "Stainless Steel". The
Chromium oxide protects the metal from further oxidizing. Chromium
will react with a number of other elements if the conditions are
suitable. The most common is forming a carbide by reacting with
carbon during the smelting process of Ferrochrome. This is
typically and unwanted reaction in the process.
