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.

About this product

PowderRange® CCM is a non-magnetic cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy with high strength, corrosion and wear resistance and excellent biocompatibility. It is the low-carbon, wrought version of ASTM F75 cast alloy, produced by vacuum induction melting (VIM) followed by nitrogen gas atomization.

It holds strength up to 1112°F (600°C), is biocompatible when nickel is kept below 0.1%, and is non-magnetic (MRI-compatible) — the go-to cobalt-chrome for orthopedic and dental implants and other small biomedical devices.

Why teams buy this powder from Additive Plus

  • Genuine Carpenter PowderRange® CCM — VIM-melted, nitrogen gas-atomized for high sphericity and consistent flow.
  • Available in small, workable volumes. Most mills sell large minimums and hide pricing behind an account. We stock this alloy and sell it in accessible quantities at a clear, published price.
  • Full COA with every lot — particle size distribution, chemistry, apparent density and flow rate, with a traceable lot number.
  • Fast dispatch from Los Angeles.
  • Need a custom alloy or a tighter cut? We also run our own atomization in-house and can produce custom small-batch powder on request — separate from this stocked product.

Unedited feedback from customers who reorder Medical-Grade Cobalt Chrome Alloy Powder for Metal 3D Printing | LPBF Compatible - 10 kg / 22 lbs.

★★★★★ 4.9 / 5 · 24 reviews
★★★★★

Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.

MK
Marcus K. Process Engineer · Aerospace OEM
★★★★★

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.

PS
Priya S. R&D Lead · Medical Devices
★★★★★

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.
