Chemical Properties

There is a variety of types of stellite. All types contain the following elements in different quantities: titanium, Silicon, Sulfur, Phosphorus, Molybdenum, Manganese, Chromium, Carbon, Boron, Aluminum, Iron, Nickel, Cobalt

Most of these alloys contain four to six of those elements. Among all those elements, carbon and chromium are of greatest importance, playing the biggest roles in how the alloy performs.

Manufacturing Process

Stellite alloys are produced by a range of different processes or methods. These methods include wrought or hot forging, hard-faced deposit, powder metal, and finally, casting. It’s more difficult to machine and grind than steel. Therefore, high-performance processing equipment and specialized machining tools are required. As usual, it is machined by grinding instead of cutting.

Applications

Some of the major applications are as follows:

l Poppet valves, valve seats and exhaust valves of the internal combustion engine.

l Medical applications including manufacturing of artificial hip joints, other bone replacements and cast structure of dental prosthesis.

l Saw teeth, hardfacing, and acid-resistant machine parts.

l The manufacture of turning tools for lathes. With the introduction and improvements in tipped tools it is not used as often, but it was found to have superior cutting properties.
