Introduction of Cobalt-Chrome Alloy

Cobalt-chrome alloy refers to an alloy composed of chrome, cobalt, and other metals (such as molybdenum, nickel), with a small proportion and a high melting point, which was originally developed for jet engines. It is widely used to make human joints and dental repair bodies. At present, 3D printing technology combining cobalt-chrome alloy materials has been used in the oral field.

Products

CD BioSciences is a technology company that provides a broad range of high-quality material portfolio designed for 3D printing. CD BioSciences provides a variety of metal materials, including cobalt-chrome alloys, so that your specific applications can obtain the required parts through 3D printing.

Cobalt-chrome alloy has high strength, strong corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and non-magnetic performance. Its corrosion resistance is better than stainless steel, and the crystal structure is fine and uniform, so it is commonly used for complex and harsh applications. The extensive 3D printing cobalt-chrome alloy materials provided by CD BioSciences adapt to various print systems and technologies.

The materials have excellent characteristics such as outstanding liquidity and strict chemical component control. These reliable and verified parameters can ensure that high-quality materials can be provided repeatedly for your production. CD BioSciences is willing to support you find the right material.
