Cobalt Plating (Cb) Blue / Silver & Gold (SA5)
Cobalt plating is a specialized electroplating process that enhances metal substrates’ surface properties and performance. Immersed in an electrolyte solution containing cobalt ions, the substrate undergoes deposition facilitated by an electric current. Renowned for its exceptional wear resistance and hardness, the durable cobalt layer acts as a protective barrier, making it ideal for components exposed to abrasive environments, heavy loads, or high-friction conditions. Extensively used in aerospace, oil and gas, automotive, and electronics industries, cobalt plating ensures critical components’ longevity and reliability, effortlessly withstanding demanding operational challenges.
