Do you have a question about the application metals in your production process?
What is ASTM F1537 / ISO 5832-12?
The standards ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12 specify the requirements for forged cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys used for surgical implants. These specifications include provisions for chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, and surface finish. The products are manufactured through melting or powder metallurgy processes and are supplied in straight lengths or coils, depending on the desired application.
ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12 are applied globally to ensure the quality and reliability of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum products in applications exposed to high temperatures, corrosive environments, and mechanical stress. These standards provide a solid foundation for consistent product quality in demanding medical environments.

What is ASTM F1537 / ISO 5832-12 used for?
Material Properties
Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum produced according to ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12 is known for its high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance, and good mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. The material retains its strength and ductility under thermal stress and provides stability in aggressive chemical environments. In medical applications, this alloy is valued for its biocompatibility and wear resistance, while in other industries, it is utilized for its durability and resistance to oxidation.
Industrial Application
Cobalt-chrome-molybdenum that meets ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12 standards is primarily used for medical purposes where high mechanical and chemical stability are required. The material is processed into semi-finished products and final components such as forged rods, plates, or pre-machined shapes, intended for further use in orthopedic, dental, and trauma systems. Its consistent material quality makes it suitable for long-term and demanding applications where wear, fatigue, and biochemical inertness are crucial for the performance and safety of the final product.
