Industrial Uses and Applications

Stellite 1 Possess high abrasion and corrosion resistance for applications such as pump sleeves and 

Stellite 3 rotary seal rings, wear pads, bearing sleeves, and centereless grinder work rests. All are 

Stellite 20 available as castings Stellite 1 and Stellite 20 are available for hardfacing. 

Stellite 4 Alloys having greater wear resistance than Stellite 6 and used for applications subject to 

Stellite 12 less mechanical shock. Stellite 4 is a machinable casting alloy having extremely good high-

Industrial applications and uses. Palladium is used in some watch springs or alloyed for use in jewelry. White gold is an alloy of gold decolorized by the addition of palladium and can be beaten into leaves as thin as 0.1 pm. It is also used in dentistry for making crowns as replacement for gold. Finally, it is also used to make surgical instruments. 

Industrial applications and uses. Osmium metal is used almost entirely to produce very hard alloys with other metals of the platinum group, for fountain-pen tips, instrument pivots, and electrical contacts. The Pt90-Osl0 alloy is used in implants such as pacemakers and replacement valves. On the other hand, OsO, is used in forensic sciences to detect fingerprints and to stain fatty tissue for microscope slides.
