You add some chromium to the alloy when producing it. It's not something you can do at home, though you may be able to plate an existing steel piece with a thin layer of chromium.
Chrome is used with iron to create stainless steel alloys.
52100 Chrome Steel has a stronger magnetic attraction force compared to 440C Stainless Steel due to its higher carbon content, which makes it more ferromagnetic.
Yes, chrome can be recycled. Chrome is commonly found in stainless steel products and can be reclaimed through the recycling process to create new stainless steel items. Recycling chrome is important for reducing the need for extracting new resources and minimizing environmental impact.
Chrome won't rust. That's why it's plated over steel. But any tiny crack or flaw in the chrome plating can allow rust to penetrate the "skin" of chrome and attack the metal beneath. As the chrome barrier is compromised, the rust continues to spread. More and more steel is attacked and breaks down. Stainless steel is (usually) designed so the steel (iron with a bit of carbon) is alloyed with a small percentage of chromium in it. This chromium is what makes the stainless steel resistant to attack. Stainless steel resists attack by rust "all the time" while chrome plated steel resists attack by rust only until any flaw or crack appears or is created. It is then vulnerable to attack. A scratch on stainless steel, while unsightly, is not going to open a path for attack by rust. Note: Rust doesn't "attack" steel. It forms as the metal is chemically attacked. The oxidized iron that appears after the chemical attack is the rust.
chrome rims are made of steelthe steel is then cleaned and polished and subjected to a chemical process that makes the chromeif you find an old chrome rim u can see where rocks etc have chipped the chrome off an that allows rust to get at steel rim
p-91 is an alloy. carbon is added to iron to make carbon steel. From carbon steel, chrome ( or other metals, but in this case chrome) is added to make an alloy steel. I believe p-91 is has 9.25% chrome.
Yes, it is still a carbon steel with chrome and molybdenim molecules weaved into the micro structure.
Chrome is used with iron to create stainless steel alloys.
Use a magnet. If it sticks it's chrome. If not, it's polished aluminum.
Chrome is a metal, the symbol is Cr. It is used to make the alloy for stainless steel and or plating other metals to give them a high gloss rust resistant finish.
52100 Chrome Steel has a stronger magnetic attraction force compared to 440C Stainless Steel due to its higher carbon content, which makes it more ferromagnetic.
No, chrome vanadium is an alloy of chromium and vanadium with steel, whereas carbon is a chemical element found in many types of steel. Chrome vanadium steel is known for its strength and durability, while carbon content in steel affects its hardness and strength properties.

Question doesn't really make sense. There's no bike that's made out of chrome. You can have a steel bike that is chromed on the surface. Or you can have a steel bike made out of an alloy containing chrome. Chrome-Molybdenum, Cr-Mo is a common, strong steel alloy. And it can be chromed. What'll decide the weight of a bike isn't as much the material, as what the bike is intended to be used for, and what it's allowed to cost. An expensive race bike will be light. A cheap department store bike will be heavy.
No, for example high chrome stainless steel is not magnetic.
Combination of strength, weight, durability, and cost that goes into make something. Steel is strong, but really heavy. Aluminium is light, but not very strong. Also, some metals make the alloy not rust. An example is Stainless Steel. Its a combination of Steel and Chrome. The Chrome makes the Stainless steel cost more. Its an Engineer's job to find the best alloy for the job.
