Cobalt Metal
Cobalt Metal is a strategic ferromagnetic material essential for the production of high-performance lithium-ion batteries. It is critical for the stability and energy density of EV power cells.
In the aerospace sector, it is a primary ingredient in superalloys used for jet engine turbines. These alloys maintain exceptional tensile strength and corrosion resistance at extreme operating temperatures.
The metal is also vital for manufacturing permanent magnets and heavy-duty cutting tools. Its high density and unique electronic properties make it a cornerstone of the clean energy transition.
