Conclusion Cobalt is a material of great importance, mainly for us as engineering students, because when it comes to being in the industry we can apply it in different things, we can make alloys with it in order to create some products or other important materials, knowledge about its properties makes us know a material that eventually we will use, so the importance of this work is that it leaves us the knowledge about this material.
