Ferrochromium yog cov xim hlau zoo nkauj ci ci nrog qhov ntom ntawm 7.2, qhov chaw npau ntawm 1857 ° C, thiab qhov kub taw tes ntawm 2672 ° C. Nws yog malleable, tab sis thaum nws muaj impurities xws li oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, thiab nitrogen, nws dhau los ua nyuaj thiab nkig. Cov cuab yeej tshuaj lom neeg ntawm chromium tsis ua haujlwm, thiab nws ruaj khov rau oxygen thiab dej tso pa ntawm chav tsev kub. Chromium pib hnov mob nrog oxygen thaum nws siab dua 600 ℃, tab sis thaum cov yeeb yaj kiab oxide yug rau saum npoo, qhov tshuaj tiv thaiv yuav qeeb. Thaum rhuab mus rau 1200 ℃, oxide zaj duab xis pov tseg thiab kev tawm tsam sai dua.
Thaum lub siab kub, chromium reacts nrog nitrogen, carbon, thiab leej faj. Chromium tuaj yeem cuam tshuam nrog fluorine ntawm chav tsev kub. Chromium tuaj yeem zom hauv hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid thiab perchloric acid, passivate tom qab ntsib cov nitric acid, thiab tsis hnov mob nrog acid. Chromium tuaj yeem xyaw nrog cov magnesium, titanium, tungsten, zirconium, vanadium, nickel, tantalum, thiab yttrium. Chromium thiab nws cov alloys muaj qhov muaj zog tiv thaiv corrosion.
