Stellite Rod Bush

Stellite alloys are non-magnetic and typically associated with high corrosion resistance and as with many alloys, they are adaptable and can be refined for a range of specific applications. Due to their incredibly hard material properties, Stellite alloys are inherently difficult and often expensive to machine therefore some very precise casting and grinding machining methods are often employed.

The carbides present in the Co-Cr-W-based stellite alloys are of chromium-rich M₇C₃ type. The trademark owners of Stellite claim that Stellite 6 is the most widely used of their range of Stellite alloys, offering a proven industry standard for general-purpose wear resistance, and high mechanical and chemical perfromance in hostile environments.
