Typical Applications:
STELLITE 6 is the most generally useful cobalt alloy, having
excellent resistance to many forms of mechanical and chemical
degradation over a wide temperature range. Particular attributes
are its outstanding self-mated anti-galling properties, which result
in its wide use as a valve seat material, high temperature hardness,
and a high resistance to cavitation erosion. The alloy is ideally
suited to a variety of hardfacing processes.

Stellite cobalt base alloys consist of
complex carbides in an alloy matrix.
They are resistant to wear, galling and
corrosion and retain these properties
at high temperatures. Their exceptional
wear resistance is due mainly to the
unique inherent characteristics of the
hard carbide phase dispersed in a CoCr
alloy matrix.
Stellite 6 is the most widely used of
the wear resistant cobalt based alloys
and exhibits good all-round performance. It is regarded as the industry
standard for general-purpose wear
resistance applications, has excellent
resistance to many forms of mechanical
and chemical degradation over a wide

temperature range, and retains a reasonable level of hardness up to 500C
(930F). It also has good resistance to impact and cavitation erosion. Stellite 6 is ideally suited to a variety
of hardfacing processes and can be turned with carbide tooling. Examples include valve seats and gates;
pump shafts and bearings, erosion shields and rolling couples. It is often used self-mated.
Corrosion Resistance
The typical electrode potential in sea water at room temperature is -0.25V (SCE). Like stainless steels,
Stellite 6 corrodes primarily by a pitting mechanism and not by general mass loss in seawater and chloride
solutions. Its mass loss in sea water is below 0.05mm per year at 22C. More information regarding
corrosion resistance can be provided on request.
