Abstract
For preparing a chromium metal powder lacking in oxygen and having an average particle size not greater than 20 .mu.m, a mixture of chromium oxide and calcium oxide, in a molar ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:2, is calcined initially at temperatures of 650.degree. to 1,200.degree. C. with access of oxygen up to a weight increase of 1 to 6 g per mole of chromium oxide, the calcined product is comminuted to a particle size not greater than 100 .mu.m and the product so obtained is reduced calciothermally. The calcium oxide can be replaced wholly or partially by calcium carbonate.
