Alloy Production

Our facilities

Every step of our CoCr alloy production is completed by our partners in the United Kingdom. The early stages of titanium production are completed abroad while the final stages are completed in the U.K. All of our suppliers are audited by third parties to ensure full compliance.

Our alloy products

We specialise in the manufacture of cobalt chrome based alloys to meet the demanding requirements of the medical and dental sectors.

We also have an extensive scientific knowledge of commercially pure titanium (CPT) and titanium alloys (grade 23 ELI and grade 5). We work with our partners to ensure a quality assured final product.

All of our alloys have been engineered with high-performance in mind. Their key mechanical characteristics of yield strength, hardness, ductility and corrosion resistance are due to:

Independent tests have confirmed their performance capabilities and ISO compliance:

Biocompatibility trials
Corrosion resistance in lactic acid

We hold current ISO 13485 certification.

CoCrMo: The finished product

Our finished alloys are supplied in various forms:

Large ingots produced by VIM/ESR for casting or forging/rolling,
Small ingots produced by continuous casting (laser marking optional),
Rods,
Billets/Disks for milling/machining,
Powder for laser sintering, surfacing or isostatic pressing.

We will also polish the ingots and rods if required. We prepare the ingots

according to customer specification, usually in diameters ranging

from 08mm to 200mm. Our orthopaedic customers normally require ingots

according to ISO 5832-4. We can also manufacture wrought material (typically ISO 5832-12) by subcontracting ingot forging to our partners.

Rods are available in diameters of 03mm to 12mm and lengths of 500mm. They are manufactured by a method of continuous casting resulting in virtually no unwanted impurities. They have excellent surface quality which requires no extra grinding or processing. The composition and quality undergoes highly technical monitoring by experienced and highly skilled professionals.

Billets for milling or machining are open system CAD/CAM 98.5mm disks with optimum machining properties, thermally enhanced for very high strength. Blanks are supplied with or without steps and in depths ranging from 8mm to 22 mm in 2 mm increments.

Our alloy powders are manufactured in an inert gas

atmosphere to ensure purity. Their composition and particle

size are tailored to our customers’ specific requirements.

Finished production orders are appropriately laser marked

with product code and batch number before being securely

packaged for shipping.
