CR	27
CO	27
MO	4
W	1.5
FE	1.5

Equivalent Grades

UNS N12160 / HR-160

Applications

Aerospace, chemical processing, marine, nuclear, heat resistance.

Available Forms

Bar, Plate, Sheet, Tube, Wire, Forging, Pipe

Uses

Cobalt alloy with exceptional wear, galling and high-temperature corrosion resistance. Used in cutting tools, valve seats, dental and orthopaedic implants, gas-turbine parts.

Heat Treatment

Solution treated and aged (≈650–800 °C) for wear alloys; many Stellite-type grades are used as-cast or hardfaced.

Precautions

Very abrasive to tooling when hardfaced; machine in annealed condition where possible. Excellent galling resistance reduces need for lubrication.
