Under the name Ducrolloy PLANSEE manufactures special chromium alloys, which show optimized physical properties compared to pure chromium in certain applications. Examples areCr-0.4La2O3 or a great number of CrFe or CrNi alloys.

In comparison with Ducropur CrFe alloys show a higher warm strength and a better oxidation behavior and can be used at temperatures up to 1400 °C.

Chromium alloys are continually further developed by PLANSEE especially to meet the high requirements in the thin film technology.

Typical application areas for chromium alloys:

• targets for the sputtering technology
• high temperature fuel cells (SOFC)
• components for the chemical apparatus engineering
• filter candles for the environmental technology
