Cobalt Metal Base Alloys Stellite 6 Alloys for Sale

Introduction

Our Cobalt Metal Base Alloys, specifically Stellite 6 Alloys, are high - performance materials designed to meet the most demanding requirements across various industries. These alloys are the result of advanced metallurgical processes and strict quality control, offering a unique combination of properties that make them a top choice for a wide range of applications.

Product Composition

The Stellite 6 Alloys are based on a cobalt - metal base, which is the foundation of their excellent performance. The alloy also contains significant amounts of chromium, which provides outstanding corrosion resistance and high - temperature stability. Other elements are carefully added in precise proportions to enhance specific properties. For example, tungsten contributes to the alloy's hardness and wear resistance, while carbon helps in forming hard carbides that further improve the material's mechanical properties. This well - balanced composition ensures that the Stellite 6 Alloys can withstand harsh operating conditions.

Key Features

1. High Wear Resistance

One of the most remarkable features of our Stellite 6 Alloys is their exceptional wear resistance. Whether it is sliding wear, abrasion, or erosion, these alloys can maintain their integrity for a long time. This makes them ideal for applications where components are subject to constant friction and wear, such as in industrial machinery parts, cutting tools, and valve seats. The hard carbides dispersed throughout the alloy matrix act as barriers against wear, reducing the rate of material loss and extending the service life of the components.

2. Corrosion Resistance

The presence of chromium in the Stellite 6 Alloys gives them excellent corrosion resistance. They can resist corrosion in a variety of environments, including acidic, alkaline, and marine conditions. This property is crucial in industries such as chemical processing, where equipment is exposed to corrosive chemicals, and in marine applications, where components are constantly in contact with saltwater. The alloys form a passive oxide layer on the surface, which protects the underlying material from further corrosion.

3. High - Temperature Performance

Stellite 6 Alloys can maintain their strength and hardness at high temperatures. They have a high melting point and good thermal stability, allowing them to be used in high - temperature applications such as in the aviation and electronics industries. In aviation, they can be used in engine components that operate at extremely high temperatures, while in electronics, they can be used in heat - resistant connectors and other high - temperature parts.

4. Good Toughness

Despite their high hardness, the Stellite 6 Alloys also possess good toughness. This means that they can withstand impact loads without cracking or fracturing easily. In applications where sudden shocks or vibrations are common, such as in some industrial machinery and medical devices, the toughness of these alloys ensures the reliability and durability of the components.

5. Machinability

Although Stellite 6 Alloys are hard and wear - resistant, they can still be machined with the right tools and techniques. This allows for the production of complex shapes and components according to specific customer requirements. Whether it is turning, milling, or drilling, our alloys can be processed to achieve the desired dimensions and surface finish.
