Chromaloy vs. Cobalt Chrome Moly

Cobalt-chrome-molybdenum alloys are widely used in orthopedic implants.  The alloy has a much higher tolerance in the human body that cobalt or nickel, and thus, much less toxicity.  CCM is a low carbon, wrought version of ASTM F75 cast alloy.  Chromaloy steels are commonly used in bicycle parts, specifically body tubing, as the alloy is lightweight and 30% carbon, thus it is designated AISI 4130.
