Cobalt is added to steel to produce magnetic, high strength or very hard metals. It is also used as a blue pigment in coloring glass and pottery. A radioisotope, Cobalt 60, is used as a high energy gamma ray source for medical treatment and for testing of metal components.
Iron, cobalt, and nickel are the most common metals that exhibit magnetic properties. Other metals, such as steel and some alloys, can also be magnetic depending on their composition and structure.
Stainless Steel; all other choices are elements - stainless steel is a steel alloy (composite elements).
Cobalt and some alloys of neodymium are also magnetic. The odd one out is steel because it is not an elemental metal but rather an alloy composed primarily of iron and carbon.
why are other metals added to stainless steel
Cobalt. (cobalt steel)
The best drill bit for stainless steel is a cobalt drill bit. Cobalt drill bits are made of a high-speed steel alloy with added cobalt, which makes them more durable and heat-resistant than regular steel drill bits. This allows them to effectively drill through the hard and tough surface of stainless steel without dulling or overheating.
Cobalt steel is a form of high-speed steel containing a significant proportion of cobalt. M-35 (5% cobalt) and M-42 (8% cobalt) are common cobalt steel alloys. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_speed_steel
Yes, cobalt is sometimes added to stainless steel as a minor alloying element to improve strength and corrosion resistance. However, its presence is typically very small, with most stainless steels containing less than 1% cobalt.
Cobalt is a useful ingredient in certain types of steel.
Steel investment foundries make use of cobalt-based alloys
Yes a little bit of carbon can makes a much difference in the properties of steel.

there is only 4 iron steel nikel and cobalt
When cobalt(II) sulfate is added to water, it dissociates into its ions. The formula for cobalt(II) sulfate is CoSO4, and when it is added to water, it dissociates into Co^2+ (cobalt ion) and SO4^2- (sulfate ion).
