Metal Powder FastForm CoCrW 15–53 Microns, 5 kg

Achieve industrial density with FastForm CoCrW metal powder

Manufacture high-strength, porosity-free components with the FastForm CoCrW Metal Powder 15–53 µm, 5 kg. Designed specifically for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology, this cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy delivers the ideal balance of thermal stability and mechanical hardness — fundamental requirements for medical applications, dental prosthetics, and precision engineering.

Capabilities of the FastForm CoCrW Metal Powder 15–53 µm, 5 kg

Going beyond generic metal printing, the CoCrW formulation is critical where durability cannot be compromised. By integrating Tungsten into the Cobalt-Chromium matrix, this powder significantly raises the melting point and corrosion resistance of the finished part. This makes it the benchmark material for manufacturing dental crowns, bridges, and partial denture frameworks that must withstand the high temperatures of porcelain firing without deforming.

Optimised flowability for SLM systems

Consistency in the powder bed determines the structural integrity of the print. FastForm has refined the particle production process to guarantee a sphericity index >0.8 in over 90% of the powder. This high degree of roundness ensures excellent flowability (≤40 s/50g), allowing the recoating blade to spread smooth, uniform layers. The result is a fluid printing process that minimises porosity and reduces the risk of blockages or irregular fusion.

Material versatility and post-processing

The particle size distribution of 15–53 µm is calibrated to deliver fine surface detail whilst maintaining high build speeds. Parts printed with the FastForm CoCrW Metal Powder 15–53 µm, 5 kg exhibit exceptional density, reducing the time and effort required for post-processing and polishing. Whether used in an inert nitrogen atmosphere or with standard CoCr build plates, this material provides reliable repeatability for functional prototyping and end-use part production.
