-Chromium on Luna would find many uses, not least of which is the creation of corrosion resistant alloys for industrial processes, as well as a strengthening agent in various alloys. Due to its high melting point, chromium is also a useful component in the construction of electric resistance heating elements<ref>http://www.moonminer.com/Speculation-Lunar_Chromium.html</ref>.

 The most important and abundant terrestrial ore of chromium is [[chromite]]. Geologic surveys of the moon have located vast deposits of chromite on the Sinus Aestuum, covering an area thousands of square kilometers in size<ref>http://www.nasa.gov/topics/moonmars/features/moonrock-king_prt.htm</ref>. It is believed that these deposits are located all across the moon, but are buried in deeper layers, and that the deposits on the Sinus Aestuum are the result of a meteorite impact blasting away the overburden.
-[[Chromite]] could be reduced to an [[Iron]]-Chromium alloy using the [[FFC Cambridge Process]], which could then be refined to pure Chromium, or could could be used directly for production of stainless steel or other iron alloys.

-"Chromium use in iron, steel, and nonferrous alloys enhances hardenability and resistance to corrosion and oxidation. The use of chromium to produce stainless steel and nonferrous alloys are two of its more important applications.   Other applications are in alloy steel, plating of metals, pigments, leather processing, catalysts, surface treatments, and refractories." - USGS Chromium Statistics and Information[http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/chromium/]
