MATERIAL
OVERVIEW
Characteristics:
Steel-gray, shining, hard, ductile, somewhat malleable
metal; ferromagnetic, with permeability two-thirds
that of iron. Cobalt
has exceptional magnetic properties in alloys.
It is attached by dilute hydrochloric and
sulfuric acids. It
is soluble in nitric acid.
Cobalt corrodes readily in air.
Hardness: cast, 124 Brinell; electrodeposited,
300 Brinell. An
important trace element in soils and necessary for
animal nutrition.
Cobalt has unusual coordinating properties,
especially the trivalent ion.
Noncombustible except in powder form.
Derivation:
From ore concentrates by roasting followed (a) by
thermal reduction by Cobalt, or (b) by electrolytic
reduction of solutions of metal; (c) by leaching, with
either ammonia or acid in an autoclave under elevated
temperatures and pressures and subsequent reduction by
H.
Hazard:
Dust is flammable and toxic by inhalation.
Tolerance, 0.05mg/m3 of air.
