    Helps improve battery energy density and lifespan.

  • Alloys & Aerospace

    Cobalt-based superalloys are used in jet engines and gas turbines due to their heat resistance.

    Added to stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance.

  • ⁠Magnets

    Used in permanent magnets (e.g., Alnico, Samarium-Cobalt magnets) for motors, wind turbines, and speakers.

  • Catalysts

    Important in petroleum refining, hydroprocessing, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (for fuel production).

  • Medical & Radiation Therapy

    Cobalt-60, a radioactive isotope, is used for cancer treatment and sterilization of medical equipment.
