Valuable metal cobalt plays a vital role as the main raw material in strategic industries such as turbines and high-temperature industries, coating industries, machining chips, high-temperature tools, biomaterial implants, lithium-ion batteries, and electric vehicles. This metal is the main component of superalloys and macroal coatings of turbine and high temperature industries, the bonding ground of cement parts and WC-Co coatings, the high temperature alloy element of high temperature tool steels, the main component of Co-Cr-Mo alloys of knee implants and orthodontic wire in medical engineering and also the main member Lithium-ion batteries. The importance of this metal and its alloys in high-temperature work industries is such that the import of pure cobalt (raw) to the country for strategic purposes has limitations.
