ECoCr-B X 3/32in X 14in X 5 lb pack (Coated Electrode, Cobalt 12)

Cobalt Alloy 12 (ECoCr-B) could be considered an in termediate alloy between Cobalt Alloy 6 and Cobalt Alloy 1. It contains a higher fraction of hard, brittle carbides than Cobalt Alloy 6, and has increased resistance to low-angle erosion, abrasion, and severe sliding wear while retaining reason able impact and cavitation resistance. Cobalt Alloy 12 is often used self-mated or running against Cobalt Alloy 6 or 1. The higher tungsten content provides better hightemperature properties compared to Cobalt Alloy 6, and it can be used at temperatures up to about 700˚C. Cobalt Alloy 12 is typically used for cutting tools that need to withstand abrasion, heat and corrosion. Examples include industrial knives for cutting carpets, plastics, paper and synthetic fibers; and saw tips in the timber industry. It is also used for control plates in the beverage industry, pump vanes, bearing bushes and narrow-neck glass mold plungers; and for hardfacing of engine valves, pinch rollers in the metal-processing indus tries, and rotor blade edges.
