Description

📄 Product Overview

The Medical Grade CoCrMo Alloy (Cobalt Chromium Molybdenum) Sheet is a premium-grade biomedical alloy specifically engineered for applications that require exceptional strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Manufactured according to ASTM F1537 Alloy 1 and UNS R31537 standards, this high-performance sheet is widely used in orthopedic implants, dental prosthetics, cardiovascular devices, and other demanding medical applications.

This CoCrMo Alloy delivers superior performance in both static and dynamic loading environments, maintaining structural integrity under repeated stress cycles. Thanks to its unique combination of cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), and molybdenum (Mo), this alloy offers a perfect balance of hardness, flexibility, and biological inertness, making it the preferred choice for critical healthcare devices.

Chromium Cr 26–30% Forms a passive oxide layer for excellent corrosion resistance
Molybdenum Mo 5–7% Enhances pitting resistance and improves strength in chloride environments
Carbon C 0.35% max Increases hardness and wear resistance
Nickel Ni ≤1% Improves toughness
Iron Fe ≤0.75% Minor impurity control
Silicon Si ≤1% Improves oxidation resistance
Manganese Mn ≤1% Strength and deoxidation
Nitrogen N ≤0.25% Grain refinement and hardness increase

Conforms to ASTM F1537 Alloy 1 specification.


Mechanical Properties (Typical at Room Temperature)

Property Value Standard Reference
Tensile Strength ≥ 1000 MPa ASTM E8
Yield Strength (0.2% offset) ≥ 827 MPa ASTM E8
Elongation ≥ 8% ASTM E8
Hardness 25–35 HRC ASTM E18
Modulus of Elasticity ~ 210 GPa ASTM E111
Density ~ 8.3 g/cm³ ASTM B311

These properties ensure that CoCrMo Alloy sheets retain exceptional durability and shape stability, even in small or complex medical components.


💡 Key Advantages of CoCrMo Alloy Sheet

1. Superior Wear Resistance

The alloy’s high hardness and excellent tribological behavior make it ideal for joint replacement implants and other components exposed to sliding contact.

2. Outstanding Corrosion Resistance

Chromium’s passive oxide film protects against bodily fluids, saline environments, and sterilization cycles.

3. Exceptional Biocompatibility

CoCrMo Alloy exhibits minimal ion release in biological environments, significantly reducing the risk of allergic or inflammatory responses.

4. High Fatigue Strength

With a fatigue limit exceeding that of many stainless steels, the material performs reliably in cyclic loading conditions typical of orthopedic implants.

5. Proven Clinical Record

This alloy has been used in medical applications for decades, with a history of safe, reliable performance in human implants.


🩺 Applications

Medical Grade CoCrMo Alloy Sheets are widely used in:

  • Orthopedic Implants – Hip and knee joint replacement components, spinal fixation plates, trauma fixation devices.

  • Dental Prosthetics – Crowns, bridges, partial denture frameworks.

  • Cardiovascular Devices – Stents, valve components, pacing leads.

  • Surgical Instruments – Blades, forceps, cutting tools requiring high wear resistance.

  • Veterinary Implants – Orthopedic plates, pins, and prosthetic devices for animals.


🔬 Manufacturing Process

  1. Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) – Ensures purity by preventing atmospheric contamination.

  2. Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) – Refines microstructure, removes inclusions, and improves homogeneity.
