L605 Alloy
L605 Cobalt-Chromium Alloy
Strength, Corrosion Resistance, Performance
High-Strength Bar & Wire for Critical Applications
L605 (also known as Alloy 25 or UNS R30605) is a cobalt-chromium-tungsten-nickel alloy known for its exceptional strength, wear resistance, and oxidation resistance at high temperatures. Its biocompatibility and mechanical durability make it ideal for both non-implantable medical devices and aerospace components that demand reliability in extreme conditions.
MGM Industries supplies L605 bar and wire made to spec, compliant with ASTM F90, AMS 5759 (bar), and AMS 5797 (wire), ready for critical-use applications
