Description: AFM #1 Cobalt is designed for applications that require extreme abrasion resistance at elevated temperatures, but where impact resistance is not a consideration. It has a higher carbon and tungsten content than other cobalt alloys causing the weld deposit to have a higher volume of carbides within its microstructure. Although the weld deposits of AFM #1 Cobalt are not as ˇ°toughˇ± as those of AFM #6 Cobalt, they are much harder and have excellent resistance to solid particle erosion.
Typical Applications: Seals, rotors, steam turbine parts, mixer blades, extrusion dies, saw blades, rolling mill guides, pump impellers, carbon scrapers, engine crossheads, hydropulper disc parts.
Available Sizes:
- Bare & Coated: 3/32 (2.4), 1/8 (3.2), 5/32 (4.0), 3/16 (4.8), 1/4 (6.4), 5/16 (8.0)
- Wire: .045 (1.2), 1/16 (1.6)
