| Stellite 12 Cobalt Alloy | Hardness (HRC) | Primary / Trim | Edger | High Impact | |||
| KST12PM | Stellite 12 is a weldable alloy composed of cobalt, chrome, and tungsten with high toughness and excellent corrosion resistance, and appropriate for use in circular and band saws when cutting green, frozen, and kiln-dried lumber. | 48 | • | • | • | ||
| KST1PM | Stellite 1 has. a higher proportion of primary carbides dispersed in the alloy and is, therefore, harder than Stellite 12. Stellite 1 is appropriate for use when cutting harder species and is available in spooled wire form. | 58 | • | • | • | ||
