In 2023, the secondary production of the transition metal chromium in the United States amounted to an estimated 100,000 metric tons, which was an increase of about 9,000 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.
