We offer Cobalt ingot, Cobalt Flake, Cobalt targets, and Cobalt foil.
Grade: 99.9% (3N)
Application: Pure cobalt is used to manufacture the cathodes of X-ray tubes and some special products. Cobalt is almost all used for manufacturing alloys, heat-strength alloys, hard alloys, welding alloys and magnetic materials and catalysts.
Physical properties
Cobalt is a hard, gray metal that looks much like iron and nickel. It is ductile, but only moderately malleable. Ductile means capable of being drawn into thin wires. Malleable means capable of being hammered into thin sheets.
Cobalt is one of only three naturally occurring magnetic metals. The other two are iron and nickel. The magnetic properties of cobalt are even more obvious in alloys. An alloy is made by melting and mixing two or more metals. The mixture has properties different from those of the individual metals.
The melting point of cobalt metal is 1,493°C (2,719°F), and the boiling point is about 3,100°C (5,600°F). The density is 8.9 grams per cubic centimeter.
Chemical properties
Cobalt is a moderately reactive element. It combines slowly with oxygen in the air, but does not catch fire and burn unless it is in a powder form. It reacts with most acids to produce hydrogen gas. It does not react with water at room temperatures
