2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

The main source of Cobalt is as a by-product of copper and nickel metal mining.
Cobalt metal can be obtained from other elements like Oxygen, Sulfur and Arsenic.

It s also used in electroplating process as it exhibits anti cession properties.

Lanthanum metal is highly malleable, ductile and sectile.
If exposed to air Lanthanum metal oxidizes rapidly.

4 Uses

4.1 Uses & Benefits

Its alloys with aluminum and nickel are used to make powerful magnets.
Few other alloys exhibit high-temperature strength and hence they are used in Turbines of Jet and Gas engine.

It has no commercial uses, but its alloys are in high demand. Lanthanum and Nickel alloy is used for the hydrogen gas storage.
The best-known use for mischmetal alloy of Lanthanum is; as a ‘flints’ for cigarette lighters.
