Cobalt Sheet Metal

Metallic cobalt occurs as two crystallographic structures.

Cobalt sheet metal.

It is magnetic it is a hard metal. Co 60 a commercially important radioisotope is. Cobalt sheet can be used to make alloys. About 30 of these are drill bit 4 are other metals metal products and 1 are sheet metal fabrication.

Sigma aldrich online catalog product list. A step bit works with. It is moderately reactive. Stanford advanced materials sam provide various cobalt metal and cobalt compounds for industrial uses including foil wire tube rod etc.

Cobalt is found in cobaltite erythrite glaucodot and skutterudite ores. Cobalt step drill bits are designed to drill holes into sheet metal. Step bits enlarge the hole as it moves through the sheet metal allowing you to regulate its diameter. The curie temperature is 1 115 c 2 039 f and the magnetic moment is 1 6 1 7 bohr magnetons per atom.

Hcp and fcc the ideal transition temperature between the hcp and fcc structures is 450 c 842 f. Cobalt is a transition metal it is shiny and conducts electricity. Cobalt has a relative permeability two thirds that of iron. Heat resistant alloys cemented carbide soldering and brazing alloy and magnetic materials etc.

Cobalt is a ferromagnetic metal and is used primarily in the production of magnetic and high strength superalloys. It dissolves slowly in acids this reaction makes hydrogen and a salt of cobalt. Iron is more reactive and copper is less reactive. Cobalt is normally in its 2 oxidation state as an ion some chemical compounds contain cobalt ions in its 4 oxidation state.
