Cobalt Sheet Metal

Cobalt is a ferromagnetic metal with a specific gravity of 8 9.

Cobalt sheet metal.

Metallic cobalt occurs as two crystallographic structures. Hcp and fcc the ideal transition temperature between the hcp and fcc structures is 450 c 842 f. Stanford advanced materials sam provide various cobalt metal and cobalt compounds for industrial uses including foil wire tube rod etc. It dissolves slowly in acids this reaction makes hydrogen and a salt of cobalt.

It is magnetic it is a hard metal. Cobalt step drill bits are designed to drill holes into sheet metal. About 30 of these are drill bit 4 are other metals metal products and 1 are sheet metal fabrication. Cobalt produces brilliant blue pigments which have been used since ancient times to color paint and glass.

Cobalt is a ferromagnetic metal and is used primarily in the production of magnetic and high strength superalloys. The curie temperature is 1 115 c 2 039 f and the magnetic moment is 1 6 1 7 bohr magnetons per atom. Co 60 a commercially important radioisotope is. Cobalt is normally in its 2 oxidation state as an ion some chemical compounds contain cobalt ions in its 4 oxidation state.

A step bit works with. Cobalt sheet can be used to make alloys. Sigma aldrich online catalog product list. Cobalt has a relative permeability two thirds that of iron.

It is moderately reactive. Cobalt is found in cobaltite erythrite glaucodot and skutterudite ores. Step bits enlarge the hole as it moves through the sheet metal allowing you to regulate its diameter. Cobalt is a transition metal it is shiny and conducts electricity.
