Through our cobalt recycling process, Globe Metal® has become a trusted international cobalt supplier for manufacturers across a variety of fields. Who Buys Recycled Cobalt from Globe Metal®? Using these, we employ a detailed and quality-oriented recycling program that efficiently recovers the raw cobalt material. Globe Metal®’s cobalt recycling process uses material from various international industrial companies, who provide a diverse assortment of recyclable cobalt materials. In addition to their strength, cobalt-based alloys are corrosion, wear, and heat resistant, making them popular for use in a number of industries and in challenging applications, like gas turbines. Adding tungsten and/or molybdenum can strengthen the alloys even more. Other alloys of cobalt are used in jet turbines and gas turbine generators, where high-temperature strength is important.įorms of Cobalt that Globe Metal® Can RecycleĬobalt-based alloys and superalloys generally have a base combination of cobalt-chromium, with chromium acting as a strengthening alloy. It is alloyed with aluminum and nickel to make particularly powerful magnets. Cobalt, like iron, can be magnetized and so is used to make magnets.
#Cobalt metal free
The free element, produced by reductive smelting, is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal. Like nickel, cobalt is found in the Earth’s crust only in chemically combined form, save for small deposits found in alloys of natural meteoric iron. We recycle and reclaim all forms of pure cobalt and cobalt containing scrap-powder, residues, solids, turnings, alloyed scrap, catalysts, filter cake, based alloys, sludge, overspray, refinery and mining byproducts, furnace scrap, flue dusts, pond tailings, leach residue and battery scrap.Ĭobalt is a chemical element with symbol Co and atomic number 27.
