Stellite


 

Stellite is a range of cobalt-chromium alloys designed for wear resistance. It may also contain tungsten and a small but important amount of carbon. It is a trademarked name of the Deloro Stellite Company and was invented by Elwood Haynes http://www.wpi.edu/News/Conf/Roundtable/Barcelona/alumni.html in the early 1900's as a substitute for flatware that stained (or that had to be constantly cleaned).
