Additional Info
What to know before you buy
This collection carries cobalt powder alloys for additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy research. The listed grade is the MSE PRO CoCrMoW cobalt based metal powder, a cobalt chromium alloy with molybdenum and tungsten made for 3D printing.
Cobalt chromium alloys combine high wear resistance, corrosion resistance and strength at high temperature. That makes them a common choice for dental frameworks, medical implant studies, turbine parts, cutting tools and wear-resistant coatings. In the lab, the powder is used for laser powder bed fusion trials, directed energy deposition, thermal spray work and sintering studies.
When you choose a cobalt powder, match the alloy to the standard or part specification you work to, and the particle size distribution to your process. Powder bed fusion usually needs a finer, narrower distribution than deposition or spray processes. Check the listing for available sizes. We can also produce other cobalt alloys and particle sizes to your specification, so send your target composition and size range with a quote request.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CoCrMoW cobalt powder used for?
CoCrMoW is a cobalt chromium alloy with molybdenum and tungsten. It is used for dental crowns and frameworks, wear and corrosion resistant parts and high temperature components. The MSE PRO CoCrMoW powder is made for additive manufacturing, so it suits printing trials and alloy studies.
What particle size should I choose for 3D printing?
Follow the powder specification for your machine. Laser powder bed fusion generally needs a fine, narrow distribution for even spreading, while directed energy deposition and thermal spray can use coarser powder. Compare the ranges shown on the listing with your process before ordering.
How should cobalt powder be stored and handled?
Store it sealed in a dry place to limit oxidation and moisture pickup. Fine metal powders can be inhaled and some can ignite as dust, so handle them with ventilation, a suitable respirator and grounded equipment. Follow the safety data sheet for the alloy.
Can you supply other cobalt alloys or particle sizes?
Yes. We can customize cobalt alloys and particle sizes to your specification. Send the composition, size distribution and quantity through the quote request form. For larger amounts of the listed alloy, use the bulk order request form.
