Interesting Facts
- Hassium metals rate of decay is very high.
- Hassium metals 1st sample was synthesized through a nuclear reaction.
- 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.

Uses & Benefits
- Currently known uses of Hassium metal are limited to research purpose only.
- 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.
