Cobalt Alloy 6 Investment Castings

Why use Cobalt Alloy 6 for Investment Castings?

Cobalt alloy 6, also known as cobalt 6B, is a corrosion-resistant cobalt-based chromium and tungsten alloy. Due to its chemical and physical composition, Cobalt alloy 6 investment castings offer exceptional wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature strength, making them ideal for demanding applications across various industries. It can withstand harsh environments where abrasion, galling, and seizing are utilized.

Key Benefits of Cobalt Alloy 6 Investment Castings:

• Superior Wear Resistance – Excellent resistance to abrasion, galling, and seizing, even in extreme conditions.
• Corrosion & Oxidation Resistance – Performs exceptionally well in harsh environments, including those with acids, chemicals, and high humidity.
• High-Temperature Strength – Capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 1000°F (540°C) without losing its mechanical properties.
• Low Coefficient of Friction – Reduces material wear and prolongs component lifespan, making it ideal for moving parts.
