Ductile cobalt in strip form is finding increasing usage because of its ductility and formability in cobalt base welding rods and deep draw applications. It has more than double the elongation value of high-purity cobalt strip. Because of AMETEK's high purity and controlled chemistry, ductile cobalt is also used as a catalyst in the production of synthetic diamonds.
Ductile cobalt has sufficient iron to maintain a face centered cubic phase at room temperature. This produces a high cobalt alloy with excellent ductility and formability for applications requiring these properties.
