Stellite 6 Wire
The Stellite™ alloys are mostly cobalt based with additions of Cr, C, W and/or Mo. They are resistant to cavitation, corrosion, erosion, abrasion and galling. The lower carbon alloys are generally recommended for cavitation, sliding wear or moderate galling. The higher carbon alloys are usually selected for abrasion, severe galling, or low-angle erosion. Stellite™ 6 is our most popular alloy as it provides a good balance of all of these properties. The Stellite™ alloys retain their properties at high temperatures where they also have excellent oxidation resistance. They are typically used in the temperature range 300 – 800° C. They can be finished to exceptional levels of surface finish with a low coefficient of friction to give good sliding wear.

Stellite 6 wire electrode is a high-performance welding consumable used to deposit cobalt-chromium alloys known for their extreme hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Stellite 6, a cobalt-based alloy, was developed to combat wear, galling, and corrosion in severe industrial conditions.
Welding with Stellite 6 wire electrodes allows manufacturers to enhance the surface properties of steel, stainless steel, and other base metals, extending the service life of valves, pump parts, turbine blades, dies, and other high-wear components.
This article provides a detailed analysis of Stellite 6 wire electrodes, including composition, mechanical properties, welding techniques, applications, benefits, standards, and global trends.
