CT0985 Cobalt Foil (Co Foil)

Cobalt Foil (Co Foil) Description

Cobalt is a hard, gray, ferromagnetic metal. It is relatively unreactive and is stable in air. Cobalt is insoluble to water and has a melting point of 1495°C and a boiling point of 2927°C. It is frequently used to produce magnetic and high strength superalloys.

Cobalt foils are produced from cast ingots for use in coating and thin film Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including Ultra High Purity (99.9+%) thin-film foil, Thermal, and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low-Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Organometallic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) for specific applications such as fuel cells and solar energy.

Typical Applications of Cobalt Foil and Cobalt metals

As the pie chart indicates, cobalt alloys and compounds are widely used in a range of applications.

Cobalt-based superalloys
• The temperature stability of cobalt superalloys makes them ideal for use in gas turbine blades and jet aircraft engines.

Cobalt-based alloys
• Cobalt alloys are corrosion and wear-resistant. This makes them suitable for the medical industry, where cobalt is often used (along with titanium) for orthopedic implants, which has a strict limit for wearing down.

Cobalt magnetic alloys
• Cobalt magnetic alloys including co-based microwires and ribbons can be used in magnetic devices.

Batteries
• Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2) is widely used in lithium-ion battery cathodes.

Other Cobalt compounds
• Cobalt salts have been used for centuries to produce brilliant blue colors in porcelain, glass, pottery, and enamels. ‘Cobalt blue’ is well-known as a typical blue color in art.
