Cobalt is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal, found in different ores. It is also used for preparing magnetic, wear-resistant, and high-strength alloys. The metal compounds are used in the production of inks, paints and varnishes.

The metal alloys are easily castable and the compositions are characterized with high carbon content & minimum silicon, both providing fluidity. Cobalt and its alloys have been used in demanding applications since a very long time and have contributed significantly to industrial products and processes.


Applications of Cobalt Alloy
Cobalt and its alloys have been popularly used in a wide number of areas and fields. Some of the areas where the metal is used are:

• Gas turbines
• Gas turbines
• Medical prosthetic devices
• Glass fiber
• Various heat and wear resistant industrial parts and components
