Cobalt Chromium Alloy (CoCr)-Powder
Product Description
Characteristics
Cobalt-chrome or cobalt-chromium (CoCr) is a metal alloy of cobalt and chromium.
It is a metal alloy that has outstanding strength, as well as wear and corrosion resistance. Because of these features and it’s biocompatibility, cobalt-chrome is often used for making dental/orthopedic implants and rings.
Application
It had been already noted that cobalt-chrome alloy has amazing strength, it is very hard to break, bend, deform or even scratch. At the same time, it has appealing white color and shine that resembles precious metals like white gold or platinum. That’s why CoCr alloy has become a quite popular material for jewelry, especially wedding bands. The price for such rings is affordable comparing to regular materials like platinum or gold. In spite of all those benefits experts do not recommend using cobalt-chrome for making jewelry.
