Cobalt Chrome Alloy Powder for Metal 3D Printing CCM MC | LPBF Compatible - 10 kg / 22 lbs
What your process engineer actually checks
Locked, traceable lot chemistry
Every lot ships with a COA documenting PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace. Aerospace and medical teams reorder 4+ times without re-qualifying.
Qualified parameters, not just powder
Validated parameter sets for EOS M 290, Renishaw 500Q, SLM 280, and our own AO Metal LPBF ship with the order. Load the profile and hit density on the first build — no parameter-development burn.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
PowderRange® CCM-MC is a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder developed for metal additive manufacturing using LPBF, EBM, and DED processes. It is a high-nitrogen, middle-carbon wrought version of ASTM F75, offering enhanced strength, wear resistance, and fatigue performance compared to standard low-carbon CoCrMo alloys.
Manufactured using vacuum induction melting (VIM) followed by nitrogen gas atomization, PowderRange® CCM-MC delivers excellent powder cleanliness, controlled chemistry, and reliable printability. The alloy exhibits excellent weldability in laser additive manufacturing and can be processed using argon or nitrogen shielding gas.
PowderRange® CCM-MC maintains high mechanical strength at temperatures up to 1112 °F (600 °C) and demonstrates strong resistance to corrosion and wear across aggressive service environments. When specified with nickel content below 0.1%, the material is biocompatible and non-magnetic, making it suitable for MRI-compatible medical devices.
This balanced combination of strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and AM processability makes CCM-MC an ideal choice for small, highly loaded biomedical components and demanding industrial applications.

Unedited feedback from customers who reorder Cobalt Chrome Alloy Powder for Metal 3D Printing CCM MC | LPBF Compatible - 10 kg / 22 lbs.
Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.
Asked about ferrite content on a Friday. A materials engineer answered Monday morning with actual data, not a sales pitch. That's why we keep ordering.
COA matches the bottle. PSD and flow are exactly what was on the sheet — we run it on a Renishaw 500Q and it hits density on the first try.
