(Specification)Standard Specification for Cobalt-28Chromium-6Molybdenum Powder for Coating of Orthopedic Implants (UNS R30075)
Standard Specification for Cobalt-28Chromium-6Molybdenum Powder for Coating of Orthopedic Implants (UNS R30075)
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the requirements for cobalt-28chromium-6molybdenum alloy powders for coating of orthopedic implants. This specification covers powder requirements only and does not address coating properties. Materials may be manufactured by rotating electrode process, inert gas atomization, or other methods that meet the powder requirements of this specification. The powder shall conform to chemical composition, sieve analysis, and cleanliness requirements of this specification.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for cobalt-28chromium-6molybdenum alloy powders for use in fabricating coatings on cobalt-28chromium-6molybdenum alloy orthopedic implants.
1.2 Powders covered under this specification may be used to form coatings by sintering or thermal spraying techniques.
1.3 This specification covers powder requirements only. It does not address properties of the coatings formed from them.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
