Chromium

J.T. Ferrara

__Chromium__ Element name: Chromium Location on periodic table: transition metal Atomic number: 24 Atomic mass: 51.9961

__Profile__ I would like to be a coating on Mercedes-Benz car parts. I am Chromium and I am a transition metal on the periodic table. My atomic number is 24 and my atomic weight is 51.9961. My coating will provide a protective, yet attractive look on Mercedes-Benz car parts. I have a long history of protection and beauty that I am well-known for and am willing to bring to the table. I have much experience in several types of steel alloys, especially stainless steel. I am able to protect these alloys and prevent them from rusting, while still complimenting their look. With this combination of many skills, and hard work, I can greatly improve your Mercedes-Benz car parts.

__Experience__ Weapon Coater — 3rd century b.c. during the qin dynasty I provided a protective coating for bronze tips on crossbows and swords. There was no corrosion on these weapons due to my coating.

Paints Pigmenter — 1700-1900 I pigmented paints and produced red and yellow colors. I also gave gemstones, like rubies and emeralds, their attractive color.

Tanning Salt Additive — 1800-1900 In addition to be a paint pigmenter in the 1800s, I also was an additive in tanning salt additive. In this job, I tanned cattlehide into leather.

Plumbing Fixture Coater — 1900-2009 I was able to give plumbing fixtures a protective and shiny coating in this job, similar to the coating I can provide for your car parts. I have been in this business for over 200 years, giving me overwhelming experience to deal with your car parts.

__Skills__ I have many skills that I am willing to present. First, I can give gemstones, such as rubies and emeralds, their attractive look. Second, I can be used as a pigment and be mixed with other elements to provide colors. Lastly, I can provide a protective coating that is shiny at the same time. My coating also prevents rusting, which is the reason stainless steel does not rust. I have an expansive history of both protection and beauty, and my skills only have the power to improve your car parts, both in strength and looks.

__Referrals__ Fe – I combine with Chromium very often, when making steel alloys, especially stainless steel. I verify how strong Chromium truly is when protecting the steel. I also verify how Chromium makes steel look much more handsome.

C – I am also used in steel alloys with Chromium. I can vouch for Chromium, and how it protects me, and other elements, on the outer surface. I also have a great sense of style and can verify that Chromium helps steel’s look.

Mg - Like Chromium, I also help strengthen and lighten steel, as well as protect it from corrosion. I put a lot of effort into my job, but no matter how hard I try, I can never do as good of a job as Chromium. Chromium is super effective, and is always a hard worker.
