Primary Applications of Cobalt Metal
Superalloys: Essential for jet engine turbine blades due to high-temperature strength retention (up to 1,500°C).
Hard Alloys: Key component in cemented carbides for cutting tools and mining equipment.
Magnets: Used in AlNiCo permanent magnets for motors and sensors.
Dental Prosthetics: Alloyed with precious metals (e.g., Pt, Pd) for durable dentures.
Batteries: Critical in lithium-ion battery cathodes (e.g., NMC chemistry).
Cobalt (symbol Co) is a hard, silver-white metallic element with atomic number 27.
Properties:
Melting point: ~1,500°C
Density: 8.9 g/cm³
Ferromagnetic at room temperature.
Precious Metal Status
Not classified as a precious metal (e.g., Au, Pt, Pd).
Used in alloys containing precious metals (e.g., 15–35 wt.% Pt/Pd in dental cobalt alloys).
Global Reserves and Production
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC):
Dominates global supply (>70% of production).
Major reserves in the Copperbelt region.
