<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1258074, member: 12789&quot;]Chromium is a very hard, but brittle metal.&nbsp; So to make a pure chrome bumper for an auto would defeat the purpose.&nbsp; But it does have properties that make it suitable for situations like faucets etc where it has a high shine, is scratch resistant and protects from corrosion at least for awhile.&nbsp; It has been used for coinage, notably the Canada 5 cent coin of ca. 1944-5 were chromium plated steel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
