Cobalt Chromium (CoCr) alloy tubes are among the most reliable and high-performance materials used in modern engineering. Known for their exceptional corrosion resistance, strength at high temperatures, and wear durability, these tubes are a go-to solution for industries where reliability and precision matter most.
The alloy typically consists of 60–65% cobalt, 25–30% chromium, and controlled additions of molybdenum, tungsten, or nickel to enhance specific performance features. This combination produces a microstructure with excellent creep resistance and oxidation stability, even when exposed to harsh chemical or thermal environments.
At DLX, we supply CoCr tubes manufactured through precision melting, extrusion, and cold drawing, ensuring perfect dimensional accuracy and uniform mechanical properties.

The global demand for CoCr alloy tubes is accelerating as industries move toward higher-performance materials. In 2024, growth has been especially strong in medical technology, aerospace, and energy infrastructure. The reason is clear: manufacturers are demanding materials that deliver both mechanical stability and long-term resistance to environmental degradation.
In medical manufacturing, CoCr alloys are replacing titanium in certain implant applications because of their superior wear resistance—especially in joint replacement components. In the aerospace sector, the increasing push for fuel efficiency and lightweight design has led to advanced CoCr-based tubing replacing conventional stainless steel.
At DLX, we’ve aligned our production systems with these market trends. We utilize vacuum induction melting to ensure alloy purity, precision cold drawing for tight tolerance control, and comprehensive material testing to meet global standards such as ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832. This makes our tubes ready for use in critical applications right out of the box.
