Cobalt, element 27, is a transition metal, and it is in Group 9 on  the periodic table.    Cobalt is critical to industry. It is used in making a number of  different â¦ metal alloys, as a catalyst, and is used in compounds to  manufacture coloring agents.  It is a tough, lustrous silver-white magnetic metallic element that  is related to and occurs with iron and nickel and is used  especially in alloys.obalt likes arsenic, and the arsenide is mined to recover cobalt only in Canada and Morocco. There are a number of other locations where cobalt is recovered as a byproduct of â¦ copper or nickel production. The metal is not rare, and there are over a dozen countries where cobalt is produced.
