Contact SupplierCobalt is a lustrous very hard silvery metal belonging to a group called the "transition metals". It is one of only 3 ferromagnetic transition elements along with iron and nickel. We can offer: Cobalt is a chemical element with the symbol Co and atomic number 27. It is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal that is found in nature primarily as minerals such as cobaltite, erythrite, and skutterudite. Cobalt has a melting point of 1,495°C and a boiling point of 2,900°C.
Cobalt is used in a wide range of applications due to its unique properties. It is a key component in many alloys, including superalloys used in jet engine parts and high-speed cutting tools. Cobalt is also used in the production of rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, as a cathode material.
Cobalt is also an essential nutrient for humans and animals, as it is a component of vitamin B12. However, exposure to high levels of cobalt can be toxic, causing lung and heart problems, as well as skin and eye irritation.
Cobalt has a variety of other applications, including in the production of magnetic alloys, pigments, and catalysts for the chemical industry. It is also used in medical implants and prosthetics due to its bio compatibility and corrosion resistance.
