Stellite® 6 sheet (UNS R30006) is a cobalt-chromium-tungsten wear alloy supplied flat for wear liners, cut blanks and machined wear faces. Chromium carbides in a cobalt matrix give it excellent abrasion, galling and cavitation resistance, retained to about 500 °C, with a typical hardness of 36–45 HRC. It is the general-purpose grade for valve seats, pump and bearing surfaces and erosion shields, and resists both wet corrosion and hot oxidation. Aurico Alloys LLP supplies it 0.2 mm to 4.75 mm thick.

Applications & Benefits
- Wear liners and cut wear plates for chutes, hoppers and material-handling faces.
- Blanks for valve seats, gates and seal faces machined from flat stock.
- Erosion and cavitation shields for pump and hydro components.
- Self-mated sliding surfaces where galling must be avoided.
