Element: Cobalt
Symbol: Co
Atomic Weight: 58.9332
Melting Point: 1495 Celsius
Boiling Point: 2927 Celsius

Swedish chemist, Georg Brandt discovered cobalt in about 1735.

From the German word for goblin or evil spirit, kobald and the Greek word for mine, cobalos.

Although cobalt is used in electroplating to give objects an attractive surface that resists oxidation, it is more widely used to form alloys. Alnico, an alloy consisting of aluminum, nickel and cobalt is used to make powerful permanent magnets. Stellite alloys, which contain cobalt, chromium and tungsten, are used to make high-speed and high temperature cutting tools and dyes. Cobalt is also used to make alloys for jet engines and gas turbines, magnetic steels and some types of stainless steels.

Cobalt-60, a radioactive isotope of cobalt, is an important source of gamma rays and is used to treat some forms of cancer and as a medical tracer. Cobalt-60 has a half-life of 5.27 years and decays into nickel-60 through beta decay.

That should pretty much cover whatever people need to know.
