Introduction: cobalt is a silver gray brittle and hard metal. It has no smell at room temperature, no steam pressure and is insoluble in water, except for ultra-fine water-soluble cobalt powder. It is stable in the air, but chemically reacts with dilute acids. It is a non-volatile metal. The demand for cobalt is small and important to maintain life. It is the only metal found in vitamins and, most importantly, as part of vitamin B12, is necessary for blood formation.
Application: mainly used for manufacturing electric carbon products, friction materials, oil bearing and powder metallurgy structural materials
