Untitled[edit]

Chrome steel is real, for example the following ball bearing is made of it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160003296883)003296883

Crhome steel is very similar to stainless steel, however it does not met the required precentage to be stainless, thus it is chrome steel.

Wrong[edit]

The term Chrome Steel does not have a single definition. A chrome part, or a chromed part, is a steel part coated, more specifically, plated, with metallic chromium. Chromium steel is a steel, often stainless steel, which has chromium added intentionally (it isn't a contaminant). Technically, stainless steels contain higher levels of Cr that most chrome (chromium) steels, enough to impart corrosion resistance. It is also nonsense to claim that chrome steels are somehow weaker than other steels. There is no question that some other steels are stronger but some are weaker. Chromium adds hardness to a steel (with proper processing). This may or may not make the resulting alloy stronger than the base composition. There are a variety of different systems in use globally which designates alloy composition. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers and ASTM (U.S.A.), JIS (Japan), EN or ISO (European) DIN (German) and GB (Chinese).173.191.243.18 (talk) 23:57, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
