ASTM F3001 powder analysis laboratory
As a manufacturer, you want to carry out a powder analysis to ASTM F3001 standard.
What is ASTM F3001?
American standard ASTM F3001 specifies requirements for cobalt-28 chromium-6 molybdenum (Co-28Cr-6Mo) alloys produced by fusion or additive manufacturing. These alloys are used for surgical applications, including orthopedic implants and other medical devices.
What are the requirements of ASTM F3001?
Why perform ASTM F3001 powder analysis?
Compliance with the requirements associated with this standard enables the metal powder to generate a low defect rate (porosity, inclusion, etc.) and a high level of compactness on the part produced, synonymous with excellent mechanical properties.
DM manufacturers and manufacturers of powders for DM additive manufacturing refer to this standard to ensure that their products comply with regulatory requirements.
For medical implant manufacturers and material suppliers, compliance with ASTM F3001 is crucial to ensuring the safety and efficacy of surgical implants. It also serves as a reference for regulatory and certification bodies.
