Cobalt Chrome 3D Printing
3D-printed Cobalt Chrome offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent creep and corrosion resistance
Cobalt Chrome (Co28Cr6Mo) is a superalloy comprised primarily of cobalt and chromium. It's high tensile strength and resistance to creep and corrosion makes it a good material choice for aerospace components and medical instrumentation.
Primary Benefits
- High performance tensile and creep
- Corrosion resistance
