Executive Cobalt 6 is a cobalt based alloy that combines all the outstanding properties of cobalt alloys such as erosion and corrosion resistance, wear resistance, maintained hardness at elevated temperatures, with the necessary toughness to resist some degree of impact. Executive Cobalt 6 is inherently good at resisting metal-to-metal wear, particularly in high load situations that are prone to galling. The alloy has excellent gliding characteristics and polishes well with high toughness properties. It can be machined by grinding or with tungsten carbide tools and is non-magnetic. Additionally, it bonds well with all weldable steels, including stainless and high nickel alloys and the deposits have a low coefficient of friction, and consequently develop a high polish in service.
