Co-28Cr-6Mo is a CoCrMo alloy. This alloy contains approximately 28% Chromium (Cr), 6% Molybdenum (Mo), with the remainder primarily being Cobalt (Co). It is particularly known for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
Applications of Co-28Cr-6Mo
Co-28Cr-6Mo is frequently used in medical implants such as hip and knee prostheses and heart valves, as well as in surgical instruments. Additionally, this alloy is utilized in aerospace applications such as turbines and engine components, and in marine environments.
ASTM F1537 – ISO5832-12
Standard specification for forged Co28Cr6Mo alloy for surgical implants (UNS R31537, UNS R31538, and UNS R31539).
ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12 are critical standards that provide guidelines for CoCrMo alloys used in medical implants. These materials must not only be strong and durable but also safe for patients. ASTM F1537 specifies the necessary chemical and mechanical properties, ensuring that joint replacements and other implants can withstand the significant stresses within the body. ISO 5832-12 addresses similar requirements and ensures that these metals meet high standards within the healthcare sector. By adhering to these standards, manufacturers can ensure that the implants they produce are reliable and promote patient well-being.
