Cobalt (Co) Micron Powder (99.9%, 1 µm)

Description

Cobalt (Co) Micron Powder (99.9%, 1 µm)

Cobalt (Co) Micron Powder is a high-purity metallic powder with a particle size of 1 µm and a purity of 99.9%, designed for industrial, metallurgical, and advanced material applications. With its hexagonal crystal structure, cobalt exhibits excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, high melting point (1495 °C), and good electrical conductivity.

This fine micron-sized cobalt powder is particularly suitable for alloy production, specialty manufacturing, and catalyst formulations, where precise control of particle size and purity is essential. Its unique combination of magnetic, thermal, and chemical properties makes it an indispensable material across multiple industries.
