Tohoku University Technology: Co-based Alloy Powder: T13-172
Providing alloy powder suitable for 3D additive manufacturing while maintaining the various properties of Co-Cr-Mo alloys.
Co-based alloys such as Co-Cr-Mo alloys are excellent in corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and are widely used in various applications including biomaterials, casting mold materials, and dental casting materials. Furthermore, by using Co-Cr-Mo alloy powder with superior corrosion and wear resistance, it is possible to manufacture implant components with complex shapes. However, Co-Cr-Mo alloys have the challenge of being less hard than iron-based alloys, making them unsuitable for general industrial applications. This invention enables the provision of a hard Co-based alloy powder that maintains corrosion and wear resistance. The invention is characterized by being based on Co-Cr-Mo-N alloys with the addition of C. When this powder is used for additive manufacturing, a process of rapid heating, melting, and rapid cooling of the powder results in a laminate with superior properties beyond conventional Co-based alloys, thereby opening up applications for Co-based alloys in industrial products.
