Cobalt Pellets

Cobalt pellets, which are small, solid pieces of cobalt metal, are utilized in various industrial, technological, and scientific applications due to cobalt’s unique properties, such as its hardness, magnetic characteristics, and resistance to corrosion.

Alloy Production

Superalloys: Cobalt pellets are used to produce superalloys, which are high-performance alloys designed to withstand extreme temperatures and stresses. These superalloys are commonly used in aerospace engines, gas turbines, and other high-temperature applications.

Hard Metals: Cobalt is a key component in hard metals, such as cemented carbides (e.g., tungsten carbide). These materials are used in cutting tools, mining tools, and wear-resistant coatings due to their hardness and durability.

Stainless Steels: Cobalt is added to certain types of stainless steel to improve their strength, corrosion resistance, and stability at high temperatures.

Batteries

Lithium-Ion Batteries: Cobalt is used in lithium-ion batteries, particularly in the cathodes of rechargeable batteries. Cobalt enhances the energy density, stability, and longevity of these batteries, which are used in electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems.

Battery Research: Cobalt pellets are used in research and development to create new battery technologies and improve existing battery systems.

Magnetic Materials

Permanent Magnets: Cobalt is used to produce permanent magnets, such as those made from cobalt-samarium (SmCo) or cobalt-iron (CoFe). These magnets are used in various applications, including motors, sensors, and electronic devices.

Magnetic Alloys: Cobalt is a key ingredient in magnetic alloys used for high-performance applications, including data storage and electronic components.

Catalysts

Chemical Catalysts: Cobalt pellets are used to create catalysts for various chemical reactions. Cobalt-based catalysts are used in processes such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (for producing synthetic fuels) and in the production of chemicals and polymers.

Hydrogen Production: Cobalt is used as a catalyst in hydrogen production processes, including water splitting and hydrogenation reactions.
