Cobalt-Chrome
Description
Cobalt-chrome alloys are distinguished by their especially high hardness as well as high ductility. Additionally they are corrosion resistant. Due to their high bio-compatibility, cobalt-chrome alloys are among the standard alloys used in medical and dental technologies. They are used to produce dental as well as knee and hip prostheses.
Their resistance to heat makes them well-suited for use in high-temperature areas, such as in jet engines.
Since cobalt-chrome components are very hard, there are limitations when it comes to exposing them to cutting processes. The SLM®-process provides a low-effective option to quickly produce cobalt-chrome components.
