Cobalt!
The most magical magnetizing element you'll ever need!
Come one come all and hear the wonders of cobalt
Cobalt is a transition metal element discovered by Georg Brandt a Swedish chemist in 1739. It's name is the combination of the German word kobald which means goblin or evil spirit and the Greek word cobalos which means mine. It can be used for all sorts of industrial things such as making magnets, jet turbine generators, electroplating, and even coloring things! This is because Cobalt like some other elements is considered a Super alloy! Super-alloys are able to do all the hard work while resisting rust and keeping their properties even at high temperatures. That gives Cobalt a lot of use in the business world.
Some great examples of Cobalt in use
Cobalt tinted object
Never fear, Cobalt has non industrial uses as you can see with this beautiful blue hue coming from the object as it has been tinted with bits of Cobalt! Makes any home the perfect home.
Jet Turbine Generator
Another powerful use that Cobalt can have due to its power as a super-alloy is its use in Jet Turbine Generators! This along with general Gas Turbines need Cobalt as Cobalt helps the Generators do the rough and tough work that other elements can't do. Can Gold help a Generator generate all that power? I did not think so.
Cobalt Magnet
Finally we see one of the greatest uses of Cobalt and that is as a magnet! Along with Iron and Nickle, Cobalt is ferromagnetic meaning that at a room temperature it has a strong enough magnetic pull that it can be felt. That's what makes Cobalt along with all of its other uses the most magical magnetizing element you'll ever need!
