A chromium ring is a beautiful and versatile metal option. It combines the look of white gold with the heft of platinum, while being many times harder and more durable than both.
Its strength is great for applications with high temperatures, such as jet engines turbines, and its hypoallergenic properties make it a popular choice in medical devices. Cobalt chrome also makes a fantastic alternative for those with nickel allergies, as it has no traces of this element.
This metal is 4 times stronger than platinum and 5 times harder than gold, allowing it to be a good choice for the discerning gentleman looking for a ring that will last a lifetime. The alloy is also malleable, which allows it to bend and retain its shape indefinitely.
Unlike other metals such as titanium or tungsten carbide, which are not a strong enough material for jewelry, cobalt chrome is super-durable and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. This means that it can take a lot of wear and tear, yet retain its lustrous silvery-white hue for years to come.
chromium rings can be shaped to fit your style and are available in many different sizes, thicknesses, and finishes, such as annealed or hard-tempered. American Elements is a leading supplier of high purity uniform-shaped chromium rings, as well as other high-temperature and corrosion resistant alloys.
