Cobalt Chrome alloys such as MP35N®, L-605®, and ASTM-F1058 are strong, hard, and corrosion resistant. These qualities, in combination with excellent biocompatibility, make these alloys ideal for long-term joint replacement implants and fracture repair.

We sell ASTM F1058 Cobalt Chrome in round bar form.

ASTM F1058 is a cobalt-chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy produced using a vacuum induction melting process followed by electroslag remelting (VIM-ESR). In accordance with ASTM "F" spec, it has been shown to be sufficiently biocompatible for surgical implants.

This alloy has nonmagnetic properties, making it ideal for situations that will later be subject to magnetic resonance imaging.

Among it's uses in the medical industry are:

  • Orthopedic wires and cable
  • Pacemaker lead conductors
  • Orthodontics
  • Stents
  • Surgical clips

We stock and sell ASTM F1537 Cobalt Chrome in round bar form.

ASTM F1537 is a cobalt chrome molybdenum alloy used in medical and surgical devices requiring high fatigue strength such as orthopedic total joint replacement.

We sell L-605® (UNS R30605) in round bar form.

L-605® is a cobalt-chromium-tungsten-nickel alloy that is highly resistant to corrosion. It is produced by following vaccum induction melting (VIM) with an electroslag remelt (ESR) to remove impurities. It is also considered nonmagnetic in all conditions.

A Tungsten content of 15% leaves L-605® radiopaque, making it an ideal material for medical implant devices where radiopacity is important.

Common uses include:

  • Artificial Heart Valves
  • Fracture fixation
  • Hip Implants
  • Stent Applications

We stock and sell MP35N in round bar.

MP35N® is an age-hardened, nonmagnetic, biocompatible cobalt-nickel-chromium alloy with molybdenum added for corrosion resistance. It is often triple-melted to insure purity, stability, and overall performance. This is achieved by adding an electroslag remelt (ESR) in between the typical vacuum induction melt (VIM) and vacuum arc remelt (VAR).

Among its uses in the medical industry are:

  • Orthopedic wires and cables
  • Catheters
  • Pacing lead wire conductors
  • Stylets and probe wires
