3D Metal Powder IMT CoCrWMo 15-53 Microns 5 kg

High-Performance Alloy for Medical and Industrial SLM

For dental laboratories and industrial manufacturers demanding superior biocompatibility and mechanical strength, the IMT CoCrWMo 3D Metal Powder 15–53 µm 5 kg performs as a premium-grade raw material. This Cobalt-Chromium-Tungsten-Molybdenum alloy is engineered to deliver exceptional structural integrity and corrosion resistance, optimised specifically for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technologies.

Capabilities of the IMT CoCrWMo 3D Metal Powder 15–53 µm 5 kg

Achieving density and mechanical strength in metal 3D printing demands precise chemical formulation. This powder is no generic alloy — it features significant additions of Tungsten (5.38%) and Molybdenum (5.20%). These elements enhance the solid solution hardening of the material, resulting in a printed part with a hardness of 360 HV10. This specific composition prevents thermal distortion during the printing process and ensures that finished components maintain dimensional stability under high thermal stress (thermal expansion coefficient of 14.3 × 10⁻⁶/K⁻¹).

Biocompatibility and Dental Applications

The absence of Nickel and the high purity of the Cobalt-Chromium base make the IMT CoCrWMo 3D Metal Powder 15–53 µm 5 kg highly suited for biomedical applications. It meets the stringent requirements for the manufacture of dental prostheses, including crowns, bridges, and frameworks for removable partial dentures. The material enables the creation of complex, thin-walled geometries that traditional casting methods can rarely replicate, without compromising the yield strength (Rp0.2% of 753.5 MPa).

Flowability and Process Stability

In powder bed fusion, the material's spreadability dictates layer quality. With a Hall flow rate of 14.0 s/50 g and a spherical particle size distribution between 15 and 53 µm, this powder guarantees a smooth, uniform recoating process. This consistency minimises porosity and print failures, allowing operators to use the material effectively in automated systems for long-duration production runs.
