What are cobalt based superalloys?

Cobalt-based superalloys are materials used in high temperatures and extreme environments and have excellent high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Cobalt-based superalloys are mainly composed of elements such as cobalt, chromium, tungsten, nickel and aluminum.

Cobalt-based superalloys are widely used in aerospace, energy, medical and other fields. In the aerospace sector, cobalt-based superalloys are used to make components such as turbine engines and gas turbines. In the energy sector, cobalt-based superalloys are used to make components such as turbine blades for thermoelectric and nuclear power plants. In the medical field, cobalt-based high-temperature alloys are also used to manufacture medical devices such as artificial bones and artificial joints.

The components of cobalt-based superalloys mainly include elements such as cobalt, nickel, iron, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum and carbon. Among them, cobalt is the most important matrix element, nickel is used to stabilize the austenite structure of the alloy, iron is used to stabilize the austenite structure of the alloy, chromium is used to improve the oxidation resistance of the alloy, and tungsten and molybdenum are used for solid solution strengthening. , niobium and tantalum are used for solid solution strengthening and improving antioxidant capacity, carbon is used for carbide precipitation strengthening, and aluminum and tungsten are used for γ’ phase precipitation strengthening.

Cobalt-based superalloys have the characteristics of high melting point, good corrosion resistance, good high-temperature durability and good welding performance. Due to the large amount of refractory metal added, the melting point of cobalt-based superalloys is generally higher than 1300°C, which is higher than the melting point of most nickel-based superalloys. Cobalt-based superalloys have higher chromium content, giving them better resistance to high-temperature corrosion. Cobalt-based superalloys can form a stable oxide film at high temperatures to maintain the strength and stability of the material. The durability of cobalt-based superalloys is lower than that of nickel-based superalloys below 900°C, but when the temperature rises above 900°C, the durability of nickel-based superalloys drops sharply, while cobalt-based superalloys have better durability obvious advantage. In addition, the welding performance of cobalt-based superalloys is also better than that of nickel-based superalloys.

In summary, cobalt-based superalloy is a cobalt-based superalloy with a high melting point, good high-temperature corrosion resistance and durability, and good welding properties. Cobalt-based superalloys have broad application prospects in aerospace, energy and medical fields.
