L605 Cobalt Chromium Alloy Rod Description
L605 Cobalt Chromium Alloy Rod is a metal rod. It has a composition of cobalt, chromium, tungsten and nickel. It is designed for use in environments with elevated temperatures up to 1500°F (816°C) for strength and 1800°F (980°C) for oxidation control. It is employed in industries such as aerospace, medical devices and chemical processing. Its wear and corrosion behaviour have been measured in standard tests.
L605 alloy rods have been tested for corrosion resistance. They have been evaluated in marine conditions, hydrochloric and nitric acid, and wet chlorine. The rods meet criteria for long‐term performance in applications requiring consistent high‐temperature operation.
L605 Cobalt Chromium Alloy Rod Applications
· Aerospace Industry: Used in the manufacture of turbine blades, exhaust systems and seals.
· Medical Devices: Employed in implantable devices, surgical instruments and dental tools because of its biocompatibility.
