![]() ![]() Cobalt is obtained as a byproduct while mining copper and nickel.Also the cobalt can maintain its magnetism at higher temperatures. Cobalt is naturally magnetic like iron.30% of cobalt is used in paints industries as well as ceramics industries.Cobalt is also present in the human body.The concentration of cobalt in the earth’s crust is around 25 ppm by weight.The name “Cobalt” came from the German word “kobald” (which means “goblin”).Here are a few interesting facts about cobalt element.
