Cobalt (Co) is a silvery-grey to bluish-grey transition metal with high strength, good temperature resistance and distinctive magnetic properties. The element cobalt is an important industrial material due to its combination of high-temperature strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Cobalt metal is particularly important as an alloying element. It is used in various high-performance alloys and superalloys designed for elevated temperatures and high mechanical loads. Cobalt is also used in the production of cemented carbides, wear-resistant materials and specialty magnetic materials.

Depending on the intended application, cobalt is available in different forms such as ingots, pieces, granules or powder. Different purity grades and weights allow flexible use in metallurgy, materials development and industrial production.
