We present results of stratification analyses for Mg, Si, Ca, Cr and Fe in the atmospheres of two Cr-type sharp-lined peculiar stars HD 133792 and HD 204411. Even in the absence of strong magnetic fields their atmospheres are stable which is confirmed by zero microturbulence. Both stars are slightly evolved, their log g ≈ 3.5, whereas their effective temperatures are 9200 and 8400 K, respectively. We find a moderate Cr and Fe stratification. However the abundances of these elements do not fall below the solar value throughout the atmosphere. Si and Ca are strongly stratified, in particular in HD 133792, with large underabundances in the outer atmospheric layers. Abundance stratifications derived for weakly magnetic Ap stars are compared with the empirically determined stratification in the atmospheres of strongly magnetic Ap stars in the same temperature range.
