IMT CoCrW cobalt-chromium powder 15-53 μm, 5 kg
IMT CoCrW is a professional metal powder based on cobalt, designed for 3D printing using SLM and LPBF technologies. It is used in high-precision dental and clasp prosthetics, the manufacture of crowns, bridge and combined prostheses, as well as parts with high elasticity for precision engineering. The alloy is characterized by high elasticity, resistance to crack formation and excellent corrosion resistance of less than 200 μg/cm³. The powder fraction of 15–53 μm ensures excellent flowability ≤ 18 s/50g and allows the production of products with high surface detail, dental frames and implants with stability of thin-walled elements and longevity of prostheses. The material is supplied in hermetic containers of 5 kg.
Advantages of CoCrW powder in 3D printing
- Resistance to chipping. The alloy is perfectly compatible with ceramic masses, completely preventing the coating from cracking.
- High viscosity of clasps. Ensures reliable fixation of clasp prostheses without the slightest risk of breakage.
- Easy removal of supports. Special properties of the powder significantly simplify and accelerate further mechanical processing of products.
- Low-temperature annealing. The possibility of complete removal of internal stresses without the risk of deformation of the frame geometry.
Technological properties of CoCrW powder
The metal cobalt-chromium powder from IMT is fully optimized for layer-by-layer laser melting using SLM and LPBF technologies. The alloy has high purity and accurately defined proportion of alloying elements. Thanks to the balanced content of tungsten, the overall hardness and stability of thin structures during thermal and mechanical loads are increased.
Considering the technological requirements for working with IMT CoCrW material, the corresponding CoCr Baseplate platform is used for 3D printing, and nitrogen is a certified working environment in the printer chamber. Sphericity indicators according to SEM analysis guarantee uniform layering of metal layers by the recoater, ensuring high accuracy and stability of printed dental frames.

Applications
- Clasp prosthetics. Creation of thin, light and highly flexible frames with elastic clasps.
- Crowns and bridge prostheses. Printing of precise bases and metal caps for further ceramic application.
- Combined prostheses. Manufacturing of complex orthopedic systems with high-precision locking connections.
- Parts with high elasticity. Precision engineering elements that require a long combination of flexibility and strength.
