Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum Bar Stock - Chrome Moly Steel - ASTM F1537 Alloy 1

We are suppliers of Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum (ASTM F1537 Alloy 1) in round bar stock, sometimes known as chrome moly steel.  This is a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy used for machining and forging stock, especially in the medical implant industry.  The molybdenum improves strength and heat resistance, while the chromium provides oxidation and corrosion resistance.  This material is highly biocompatible, making it ideal for surgical implants such as knee, hip, and shoulder replacements.  Our medical grade CCM steel bar is domestically melted and produced by a leading global US manufacturer and is universally accepted by all major medical OEMs. 

Working with Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum (CCM)

This low alloy steel features high strength, hardness, toughness, and creep-resistance that also makes it difficult to machine when compared to mild carbon steels.  Tools can wear rapidly with this product, and work hardening should be minimized with sharp tools and low vibration machines and mounts.  Difficulty in machining is comparable to titanium alloyed steel.  We can supply custom precision ground sizes and tolerances upon demand.
