Cobalt Based Strip and Foil

Cobalt-based metals are typically alloyed with chrome, nickel, iron and tungsten. They are used in challenging environments in applications that demand high temperature strength and hardness, excellent wear and corrosion resistance. We engineer strip and foil in two cobalt based alloys, L-605 and MP35N®-LTi.
