Cobalt Chromium Alloys
3D printed parts are manufactured from cobalt chromium alloys such as ASTM F75 CoCR when high resistance to high temperatures, corrosion and wear is critical. It is an appropriate selection where nickel-free components are necessary, such as in dental and orthopedic applications. Medical implants produced from metallic powder such as cobalt possess the toughness and biocompatibility necessary for long-term performance. Cobalt chromium alloys are used in additive manufacturing to print parts that often benefit from hot isostatic pressing (HIP), which combines high temperatures and pressures to induce a complex diffusion process that strengthens grain structures, producing parts. totally dense metallic.
