Stellite 6/Cobalt Alloy 6/UNS R30006
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 retains a reasonable level of hardness up to 500°C (930°F). It also has good resistance to impact and cavitation erosion.
stelliteStellite 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, stelliteStellite 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.
