Cobalt-based 3D Printing Powder

Introduction to cobalt-based 3D printing powder

Cobalt-based 3D printing powder is a metal powder material used for additive manufacturing (such as SLM, EBM, etc.), mainly composed of alloy elements such as cobalt, chromium, and molybdenum. Its excellent high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties make it a key material in the aerospace, medical, and energy fields.

5 FAQs about Cobalt-based 3D Printing Powders

Q: What are the main components of cobalt-based powders?

A: Usually cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, and may contain tungsten or nickel.

Q: Does it support all 3D printing technologies?

A: Mainly used for laser/electron beam melting (SLM/EBM), not suitable for FDM.

Q: Does medical use require special treatment?

A: It must comply with biocompatibility standards such as ISO 5832 or ASTM F75.

Q: What are the advantages compared to nickel-based alloys?

A: Higher wear resistance and high temperature stability, but the cost may be higher.

Q: How to recycle the powder?

A: Unmelted powder can be sieved and reused, and the oxygen content needs to be controlled.
