Copper Tungsten, accept been acclimated during the endure two decades accouterment acceptable thermal amusement and thermal amplification bout to amalgamation accepted semiconductor dice. This technology has been activated to chip and optoelectronics applications such as RF ability packages, ability conversion, motor acceleration controllers, chip amalgamation components, and laser diodes mounts, submounts and carriers.

Hardmetals, in which azure is acclimated as a bounden material, absorb almost 12% of absolute cobalt. These cover anchored carbides and design accoutrement that are acclimated in acid applications and mining tools.

Despite the abounding uses for azure metal, cobalt's primary applications are in the actinic sector, which accounts for about bisected of the absolute all-around demand. Azure chemicals are acclimated in the brownish cathodes of rechargeable batteries, as able-bodied as in petrochemical catalysts, bowl pigments and bottle decolorizers.

Another important use for azure is in Cobalt Alloy, which can be begin in orthopedic and dental implants, as able-bodied as prosthetic achievement and knees.
