Standard Specification for Cobalt-28Chromium-6Molybdenum Powder for Medical Devices (UNS R30075, UNS R31537, and UNS R31538)
1.1This specification covers the requirements for cobalt-28chromium-6molybdenum alloy powders for use in fabricating cobalt-28chromium-6molybdenum alloy medical devices.
1.2Powders covered under this specification may be used to form coatings by sintering or thermal spraying techniques, or in metal injection molding or additive manufacturing.
1.3This specification covers powder requirements only. It does not address properties of the coatings or components formed from them.
1.4The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
