Cobalt Chromium Alloy Powder Description
Cobalt chromium alloy powder is a type of metal alloy powder mainly composed of cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr) with frequent additions, including molybdenum, nickel, and tungsten. The exact composition of this alloy will determine the best properties of strength, oxidation resistance, and formability at very high temperatures.

Cobalt Chromium Alloy Powder FAQs
Q1. What is cobalt chrome alloy powder used for in medicine?
It’s used for dental implants, artificial joints, and orthopedic implants due to its biocompatibility, strength, and wear resistance.
Q2. How is Cobalt Chromium Alloy Powder used in additive manufacturing?
It’s used in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) to create high-precision, durable medical implants and aerospace components.
Q3. Is cobalt chromium stronger than stainless steel?
Yes, it has higher strength, hardness, and wear resistance than stainless steel (e.g., 316L), but it is less ductile and harder to machine.
Q4. What is the main advantage of using cobalt-chromium alloys in stents?
Excellent radial strength and fatigue resistance, ensuring long-term durability in blood vessels.
