Examples of stellite
stellite
While working on alloys for use in spark plugs, he created a metal he named stellite.
From the en.wikipedia.org
He is also remembered for his development of stainless steel and stellite, materials that are commonly used across the world today.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Stellite remains an important metal, as its ability to withstand high temperatures has made it a component in American spacecraft.
From the en.wikipedia.org
He invented the metal alloys stellite and martensiticstainless steel and designed one of the earliest automobiles made in the United States.
From the en.wikipedia.org
From about 1970 on, engines feature hardened valve seats and stellite or sodium-filled exhaust valves to handle more heat, negating the need for lead for this purpose.

Seeing stellite as a far more valuable metal, he decided to keep its patent for himself and founded the Haynes Stellite Company in Kokomo to produce the metal in September 1912.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Haynes strictly controlled production, and did not permit the other licensees to sell stellite in its raw form, but to only sell it as specific finished products.

- A very hard alloy of cobalt and chromium with cobalt as the principal ingredient; used to make cutting tools and for surfaces subject to heavy wear
- Stellite alloy is a range of cobalt-chromium alloys designed for wear resistance. It may also contain tungsten or molybdenum and a small but important amount of carbon. ...
- Also called #6 Stellite or Alloy 6. A material used in valve trim known for its hardness, wear and corrosion resistance. Stellite is available as a casting, barstock material and may be applied to a softer material such as 316 stainless steel by means of spray coating or welding.
- A proprietary range of very hard, wear-resistant alloys containing cobalt, chromium, carbon, tungsten, and molybdenum. It has a high melting point, good corrosion resistance, and unusual hardness when hot. It is used for tools, castings, valve seat inserts, coating exhaust valves, etc.
- To be more exact it's Stellite 6K or Stellite 6B. Cobalt Alloy, highly wear resistance, non magnetic, quite expensive. Quite controversial too :) Ref - Stellite 6B alloy composition; Stellite 6K Alloy Composition.
- Proprietary name of a group of complex alloys retaining their hardness strength and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures; contains W, Co, Cr and C.
- Alloy used for the hardfacing by welding of surfaces subjected to heavy wear.
