We all know the beautiful blue that radiates from raw cobalt, but have you ever heard of cobalt alloys? This alloy is a cobalt-chromium “superalloy” specifically designed for high wear resistance and superior performance in hostile environments. Therefore, cobalt alloys are resistant to cavitation, erosion, corrosion, galling, and abrasion. Read […]

Cobalt alloys are being employed in a wide range of applications, including corrosion-resistant alloys for biomedical devices and refractory alloys for the hottest portions of aeronautical or power-generation turbines. So, what is it about cobalt that makes it so rare? Is Cobalt Extremely Rare? Quick Fun Facts About Cobalt On […]

Cobalt has few, but highly specialized, uses in alloy steels. The characteristic of cobalt alloys are akin to nickel, in that it forms an entire series of solid solutions with iron at elevated temperatures and they are also highly soluble in ferrite. However, were you ever curious where companies get […]
