BioBlu™27 Cobalt
BioBlu™27 is an alloy of 65 percent cobalt, 29 percent chromium, and 6 percent molybdenum. It is a non-magnetic cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy exhibiting high strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.
The name does indeed come from the metallurgists at Carpenter Technology. ‘Bio' refers to the biocompatibility of the material, which can be used in medical applications such as prosthetics, and ‘Blu' refers to the cobalt in the material. The number 27 is the number on the atomic table for cobalt.
Carpenter Technology's BioBluTM 27 alloy is a high-purity, cobalt-based alloy which offers the following advantages over other leading precious and contemporary metals:
- Superior strength
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- 100% solid and Naturally white
- High Purity / High Performance
- Improved resistance to cracking, chipping and scratching
- Excellent polishability - bright white, mirror-like shine
- Extremely durable (solid integrity)
- Unique, one-of-a-kind feel
