Cobalt based alloys are known for their ability to withstand extreme conditions, making them indispensable in industries where durability is a must. Whether it’s metal-to-metal wear in forging, high-temperature exposure in oil & gas, or the demanding conditions of the rubber industry, these alloys maintain their hardness, resist corrosion, and extend the life of critical components.
A Range Designed for Performance
At Welding Alloys, our STELLOY cobalt cored wires offer high-performance solutions for welding applications. Designed for use with semi-automatic, automatic, and robotic welding processes—including GTAW, FCAW, GMAW, SAW, and LASER welding—our wires deliver reliability in even the most challenging environments. Our product range includes various cobalt based alloy compositions, each suited for specific applications: Grade N°1, 6, 12, 21, 25.
Our knowledge and engineering expertise allow us to support customers in selecting the right material for their needs. We do not just supply products; we provide technical advice, application guidance, and support to ensure the best results for every welding project.
As a manufacturer, we can adapt chemical compositions to meet specific needs of our customers. This capability allows us to make small but crucial adjustments, ensuring significant benefits for different applications. A perfect example of this expertise is the development of STELLOY 6BC (low carbon) and STELLOY 6HC (high carbon). By modifying the carbon content while staying within classification requirements, we enhance material performance based on customer demands.
STELLOY 6BC, with its lower carbon content, offers improved toughness and crack resistance, making it ideal for high-thickness deposits where reducing the risk of cracking is critical. On the other hand, STELLOY 6HC, with its higher carbon content, provides enhanced hardness and superior wear resistance, making it particularly suited for single layer deposits. These variations demonstrate our deep understanding of alloy behaviour and our commitment to tailoring solutions that improve efficiency and longevity in demanding applications.
Expertise Beyond the Wire
Applying cobalt based alloys requires precision, and our team of engineers and metallurgists is on hand to provide technical guidance, from process selection to optimising welding parameters. As industries continue to evolve, we are at the forefront of innovation, offering advanced solutions like laser wire feedstock alloys for high-precision welding and cladding applications.
At Welding Alloys, we are committed to delivering the highest quality welding solutions, ensuring our customers benefit from increased efficiency, longevity, and performance.
