The standard ASTM F1537 / ISO 5832-12 describes the requirements for cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys used for the manufacture of surgical implants and orthopedic components. This standard specifies the required chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment, and surface quality of the material, so that the alloy meets the strictest requirements for safety, reliability, and biocompatibility.
Titanium and stainless steel are widely used in implant applications, but cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys according to ASTM F1537 / ISO 5832-12 offer a superior combination of strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Therefore, they are particularly suitable for parts that are exposed to mechanical stress for a long time, such as joint prostheses, hip pins, and knee components.
At Metel, we place great importance on quality, traceability, and compliance with international standards. Our materials that meet ASTM F1537 / ISO 5832-12 are produced under strictly controlled conditions and fully certified according to applicable standards.
This not only guarantees optimal mechanical performance but also maximum safety in medical applications. Our focus is on delivering materials that are both technically and biologically reliable — a prerequisite for success in the medical and high-tech industries.
