Iron Nickel Cobalt and Meteorite

2023-03-17 04:10:03  News

iron nickel cobalt is a ferromagnetic metal used in various alloys. It can be produced in a variety of forms including bar, ingot, ribbon, wire, shot, sheet and foil. It is available in a variety of standard and custom sizes.

Iron - Fe, Co, Ni; Meteorite

When used as an alloy with carbon, the iron in this material is able to become very strong. The resulting metal is called steel and is used in many different types of products throughout the world.

In addition to being a major component of the steels we use every day, the iron triad is also found in rare earth metals and is a valuable resource in the defense industry. It is also used to make metal seals, lids, lead frames and base alloys that are designed to adapt to the demands of computer, microwave, hydrid, semiconductor and space age technology.

If you want to know if a meteorite is made of iron, then test the concentrations of the three main elements – iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co). Most iron meteorites have 75-95% Fe, 5-25% Ni, 0.2-2% Co, and 0.05% Cr and Mn.

The presence of nickel is an indicator that a meteorite contains some form of iron-nickel metal, which occurs as either kamacite or taenite. Kamacite has lower concentrations of nickel, while taenite has higher concentrations. The nickel in this type of iron-nickel metal attracts magnets like no other alloy on Earth.
