deloro-stellite

The history of Deloro started in 1868 in Deloro, a small gold mining village in Ontario/Canada. The Goldmines of M.J. O’Brien produced—in addition to gold—very clean Cobalt. Around the same time, Elwood Haynes worked in Kokomo, Indiana/USA, on Cobalt based hard metals. He called his discovery Stellite®, derived from the Latin word “Stella”, for star.
