Cobalt

Co

For energy, technology, and precision

Cobalt is a silver-gray, hard metal with unique magnetic properties and a rich history. While it is renowned for the iconic deep blue color it imparts to glass and ceramics, today it is primarily indispensable in high-tech applications. Cobalt plays a crucial role in lithium-ion batteries and is also extensively used in the medical sector, aviation, and the oil and gas industry.

Properties Cobalt has a high melting point (1,495°C), is ferromagnetic, and offers excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Additionally, it has catalytic properties and is stable at room temperature.
Applications Cobalt is used in lithium-ion batteries, implants, surgical instruments, aerospace components, and as a coating for corrosion protection. It also forms the basis for strong alloys.
