Cobalt is an iron alloy element with a high melting point and hardness. It is one of the commonly used additive elements in modern tool manufacturing. Adding an appropriate amount of cobalt can make the tool harder and tougher, making it less likely to break or damage when encountering complex working conditions such as high load and high temperature, and can also make the tool more suitable for various complex cutting processes. As the cutting time increases, the tool surface is easily worn. Cobalt can slow down the wear rate of the tool surface, thereby extending its service life.
The advantages of cobalt in tools are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Improve cutting performance
In processes such as high-speed cutting, precision cutting and heavy cutting, alloy tools have higher cutting speeds and efficiency than traditional tools.
2. Enhance corrosion resistance
Because alloy tools contain cobalt, they can resist erosion and damage from most chemical corrosive media and have stronger corrosion resistance. When cutting metals such as stainless steel, copper and aluminum, alloy tools can significantly extend their service life due to their excellent corrosion resistance.
3. Reduce costs
In tool manufacturing, high-performance tools produced by adding alloy elements such as cobalt have a service life several times or even dozens of times that of traditional tools, and the overall cost is relatively low.
