Cobalt – This High Tech Metal is Starting to Shine
Cobalt has been around for years, but up until recently it has been largely ignored by traders and investors who apparently did not stop to consider that Cobalt has a myriad of applications in things like high temperature magnets, rechargeable batteries in hybrid cars, high strength steels, carbides, catalysts for petroleum refining and gas-to-liquid technology, catalysts for automotive exhaust systems and of course super alloys. It is this latter category that requires the vast majority of Cobalt. The next time you are on a plane taxiing down the runway, stop for a moment and think that the turbine blades in a typical jet engine require up to 130 pounds of Cobalt.(1)
