STELLITETM 3 ALLOY
STELLITETM COBALT-BASED ALLOYS consists of complex carbides in an alloy matrix. They are
resistant to wear, galling and corrosion and retain these properties at high temperatures. Their
exceptional wear resistance is due mainly to the unique inherent characteristics of the hard carbide
phase dispersed in a CoCr alloy matrix.
STELLITETM 3 is an alloy possessing excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance for applications
such as pump sleeves, rotary seal rings, wear pads, expeller screws and bearing sleeves. It retains
its hardness at temperatures in excess of 760°C.
The high carbon content of this alloy increases the volume fraction of carbides and hence its
abrasion and solid particle erosion resistance. The high tungsten content improves its high
temperature properties. It has excellent metal-to-metal wear resistance and resists galling when
mated with other StelliteTM alloys. StelliteTM 3 is well suited to applications involving extreme low-
angle erosion and severe abrasion, with some sacrifice in toughness.
The equivalent of StelliteTM 3 for hardfacing materials like powders is known as StelliteTM 1.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
StelliteTM 3 has excellent resistance to oxidation but is not recommended for reducing acids.
The typical electrode potential in sea water at room temperature is approx. -0.4 V (SCE).
StelliteTM 3 corrodes primarily by a pitting mechanism and not by general mass loss in seawater
and chloride solutions.
