The body of the Soong-type android Data included 11.8 kilograms of molybdenum-cobalt alloys. (TNG: "The Most Toys")

:'''According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual, written by Michael Okuda and Rick Sternbach, a metallic alloy of tungsten-cobalt-magnesium was used to form the structural core of a [[Warp Coil]]. It provided the rigidity and high heat tolerance required due to the prolonged exposure to warp [[Plasma]]. '''
