Cobalt metal is used in electroplating because of its appearance, hardness, and resistance to oxidation. It is alloyed with iron, nickel and other metals to make Alnico, an alloy of unusual magnetic strength with many important uses. Stellite alloys, containing cobalt, chromium and tungsten, are used for high-speed, heavy-duty, high temperature cutting tools, and for dies in the metal.

Alloys are useful improvement over pure metals because they tend to be stronger.


What is nickel uses for?

The majority of nickel is used in the making of steels. Some is also used in iron alloys. Nickel is also used to make copper-nickel alloys and to make silver-nickel alloys. We also see nickel used in electroplating and in the making of nichrome alloys for resistive heating elements. Nickel has other uses as an alloying agent with other metals to make brasses, bronzes and other alloys. A link can be found below for more information.nickel is a d block element. we use it for make stainless steel.
