Overview

As a leading supplier & manufacturer in China, AEETHER supply cost-effective Stellite 12 Products.

Stellite 12 is a cobalt-base alloy having high heat and corrosion resistance with excellent wear and abrasion resistance. Examples include industrial knives for cutting carpets, plastics, paper and synthetic fibers; and saw tips in the timber industry. It is also used for control plates in the beverage industry, pump vanes, bearing bushes and narrow neck glass mold plungers; and for hardfacing of engine valves, pinch rollers in the metal-processing industries and rotor blade edges.

Stellite 12 could be considered an intermediate alloy between Stellite 6 and Stellite 1 resp. Stellite 3. It contains a higher fraction of hard, brittle carbides than Stellite 6, and has increased resistance to low angle erosion, abrasion, and severe sliding wear whilst retaining reasonable impact and cavitation resistance.

Stellite 12 is often used self-mated or running against Stellite 6 or Stellite 1 resp. Stellite 3. The higher tungsten content provides better high temperature properties compared to Stellite 6, and it can be used at temperatures up to about 700°C.

Corrosion Resistance

The typical electrode potential in sea water at room temperature is approximately -0.3 V (SCE). Like stainless steels, Stellite 12 corrodes primarily by a pitting mechanism and not by general mass loss in seawater and chloride solutions.
