Cobalt & Nickel Base Alloys

Cobalt & Nickel Base Alloys are used for wear resistance primarily in applications where the effects of high temperature and/or corrosion are coupled with abrasion, erosion, adhesion, surface fatigue, or any combination of these hostile environments. Essentially, it is only necessary to utilize these alloys if there is a presence of high temperature or corrosion. Otherwise, satisfactory wear results may be equally obtained using a less expensive Iron base alloy.
