Stellite cobalt base alloys consist of complex carbides in an alloy martrix. They are resistant to wear, galling and

corrosion and retain these properties at high temperatures. Their exceptional wear resistance is due mainly to the

unique inherent characteristics of the hard carbide phase dispersed in a CoCr alloy matrix.

Stellite^® 6 is the most widely used of the wear resistant cobalt based alloys and exhibits good all-round performance.

It is regarded as the industry standard for general-purpose wear resistance applications, has excellent

resistance to many forms of mechanical and chemical degradation over a wide temperature range, and retain a rea-

sonable level of hardness up to 500 ํ C (930 ํ F).Is also has good resistance to impact and cavitation erosion.

Stellite^® 6 is ideally suited to a variety of hardfacing processes and can be turned with carbide tooling. Examples

include valve seats and gates; pump shafts and bearings, erosion shields and rolling couples. It is often used self-mated.

Corrosion Resistance

The typical electrode potential in sea water at room temperature is -0.25V (SCE). Like stainless steels,

Stellite^® 6 corrodes primarily by a pitting mechanism and not by general mass loss in seawater and chloride

solutions. Its mass loss in sea water is below 0.05mm per year at 22 ํ C. More information regarding corrosion resistance

can be provided on request.
