Cobalt Aluminide Powder (CoAl) Description
Cobalt Aluminide is generally immediately available in most volumes. High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. An aluminide is a compound that has aluminum with more electropositive elements.
Since aluminum is adjacent to the nonmetals on the periodic table, it forms compounds with properties intermediate between those of a metallic alloy and an ionic compound. Aluminides have found applications in hydrogen storage technology, industrial manufacturing, and in coatings for furnaces and other high-temperature applications.
