Cobalt-based alloy powder
- Commodity name: Cobalt-based alloy powder
- 产品描述

Main features
Cobalt-based alloys are produced by incorporating appropriate amounts of tungsten and carbon into cobalt-chromium alloys. The addition of tungsten enhances the solid solution strengthening of the cobalt matrix. Carbon has low solubility in the matrix; therefore, the added carbon and excess tungsten form carbides such as WC, W2C, and M6C. These hard phases are dispersed in the cobalt matrix, resulting in precipitation strengthening. This allows the alloy to maintain excellent strength and hardness even at high temperatures (800℃). Therefore, cobalt-chromium-tungsten-carbon alloys exhibit excellent comprehensive properties, including high-temperature wear resistance, high-temperature oxidation resistance, and thermal fatigue resistance.
Cobalt has a hexagonal close-packed structure below 417℃, exhibiting a low coefficient of friction and good wear resistance. At 417℃, a phase transformation occurs from hexagonal close-packed to face-centered cubic structure, generating volume stress. Therefore, during cladding and spraying processes, preheating the workpiece to 500℃-600℃ is generally required to prevent cracking of the cobalt-based weld layer.
