Material route for application and process review.
TruForm™ CoCr (Co-538-1) is a gas-atomized cobalt-chromium powder specifically developed for powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. It is engineered with tight particle size control (-45/+15um) and excellent sphericity to ensure consistent, reliable flowability and the creation of high-density, fully consolidated parts. The material's primary differentiator is its ability to produce components that maintain specified mechanical integrity in high-temperature, high-wear, and corrosive environments.
Parts printed with TruForm™ CoCr exhibit high tensile strength and superior resistance to wear and abrasion. This makes it an ideal material for functional components subjected to friction and repetitive mechanical stress, ensuring long-term operational reliability.
The cobalt-chromium composition provides outstanding thermal stability, allowing parts to retain their structural integrity and hardness at elevated temperatures. Additionally, the material offers excellent corrosion resistance, protecting components from degradation in harsh chemical or environmental conditions.
This powder is optimized for powder bed fusion processes. Its consistent flowability and low oxygen content contribute to reliable printing outcomes with minimal process adjustments. Proper handling in an inert environment is recommended to prevent moisture absorption and maintain powder quality.
TruForm™ CoCr is suitable for the entire product lifecycle, from functional prototyping and validation to series production of end-use parts. Its specified characteristics make it a go-to choice for controlled components where material failure is not an option.
