Tubos de cobalto-cromo (tubo de CoCr)
Cobalt-Chrome Tube: Precision-Engineered Hollow Structures for Advanced Medical Devices
Cobalt-Chromium Tubes Description:
Cilindros huecos de cromo-cobalto fabricados mediante embutición o extrusión sin costuras, que abarcan desde microtubos (0,3 mm de diámetro) hasta tamaños mayores (hasta 25 mm), con espesores de pared de 0,05 a 2 mm. Grados como L605 y MP35N se utilizan comúnmente por su mayor resistencia a la corrosión y solidez.
Cobalt-Chromium Tubes Características principales:
- Outstanding corrosion resistance due to chromium oxide passive layer.
- High fatigue strength for dynamic applications (e.g., L605 excels in stents).
- Biocompatible, ideal for long-term implantation (MP35N offers superior pitting resistance).
Cobalt-Chromium Tubes Certifications and Standards:
- ASTM F90 (L605): Specific to CoCrWNi alloy for medical use.
- ASTM F562 (MP35N): Governs CoCrNiMo alloy properties.
- ISO 5832-4: Applies to CoCrMo alloys for implants.
- ISO 13485: Quality management; FDA and CE approvals required.

Cobalt-chrome (CoCr), an alloy of cobalt and chromium often enhanced with molybdenum, is prized for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. With tensile strength ranging from 800–1500 MPa and hardness of 300–550 HV, CoCr is a cornerstone in medical technology. Popular grades like L605 (Co-Cr-W-Ni) and MP35N (Co-Cr-Ni-Mo) elevate its performance.
- Stents: Coronary stents (2–5 mm to 8–20 mm expansion) made from L605 ensure vascular support.
- Catheter Components: MP35N tubes (0,5–2 mm Ø) guide minimally invasive procedures.
- Orthopedic Sleeves: Larger tubes (10–25 mm Ø) reinforce joint implants.
- Diameter: 0,3–25 mm
- Wall Thickness: 0,05–2 mm
- Density: 8,3 g/cm³ (L605), 8,43 g/cm³ (MP35N)
- Tensile Strength: 900–1300 MPa (L605), 1000–1400 MPa (MP35N)
- Melting Point: ~1330°C (L605), ~1315°C (MP35N)
