Overview
R30021 is a specialized cobalt-based alloy engineered for high-temperature applications where galling resistance and thermal stability are paramount. This non-galling alloy exhibits exceptional resistance to wear and galling, a form of surface damage caused by adhesive friction between sliding components. With a nickel content capped at a maximum of 3%, R30021 maintains a relatively low melting temperature while offering excellent resistance to heat and thermal shock. This combination of properties makes it a valuable choice for demanding environments where components experience high temperatures, thermal cycling, and friction, requiring a material that can resist wear and maintain its structural integrity.
