Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) alloy tubes are renowned for their exceptional mechanical strength, oxidation resistance, and corrosion stability, even under extreme conditions. The alloy composition typically includes cobalt as the base element (60–65%), chromium (25–30%), and small additions of molybdenum, nickel, or tungsten to enhance hardness and temperature resistance. This combination gives CoCr tubes excellent performance in aerospace, medical, and industrial environments where long-term reliability and resistance to degradation are crucial.
The material’s unique crystalline structure also provides excellent wear resistance, making it ideal for high-friction or high-load applications such as turbine components, valve systems, and surgical implants.
