Full title and description
Standard for Additive Manufacturing — Finished Part Properties — Standard Specification for Cobalt‑28 Chromium‑6 Molybdenum via Powder Bed Fusion (ASTM F3213‑17). The specification defines material, process, and finished‑part acceptance requirements for additively manufactured Co‑28Cr‑6Mo components produced by laser- and electron‑beam powder bed fusion processes.
Abstract
This specification covers additively manufactured cobalt‑28 chromium‑6 molybdenum alloy components with chemistry similar to UNS R30075 produced by full‑melt powder bed fusion (PBF) — including laser and electron‑beam processes. It provides minimum finished‑part property and chemical composition requirements, notes typical post‑processing (machining, grinding, EDM, polishing, HIP, etc.), and is intended for use by purchasers and producers to specify and accept components. Units are SI by default and supplementary purchaser requirements may be added (Supplementary Requirements S1–S14).

Scope
The standard applies to additively manufactured Co‑28Cr‑6Mo alloy components produced by full‑melt powder bed fusion (laser and electron beam) intended to exhibit finished‑part mechanical properties comparable to cast or wrought products. It is written for use by purchasers and producers to define acceptance requirements for finished parts and allows supplementary purchaser requirements where stricter limits are needed. Typical downstream operations (machining, EDM, polishing, HIP, etc.) are acknowledged but not prescribed in detail. SI units are the standard.
Key topics and requirements
- Chemical composition target and limits corresponding to cobalt‑28 chromium‑6 molybdenum (similar to UNS R30075).
- Applicable manufacturing processes: laser‑based and electron‑beam full‑melt powder bed fusion (PBF).
- Finished‑part mechanical property and acceptance criteria intended to be comparable with cast/wrought equivalents.
- Allowance for common post‑processing methods (machining, grinding, EDM, polishing, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), etc.) to achieve required dimensions and surface condition.
- Provision for supplementary purchaser requirements (Supplementary Requirements S1–S14) when more stringent limits are required.
Typical use and users
Primary users include purchasers and producers of additively manufactured cobalt‑chrome components who need a consensus specification for material chemistry and finished‑part properties. The standard is referenced for medical‑device manufacturing and regulatory recognition lists for implantable/medical manufacturing contexts, and is also used by engineering teams specifying load‑bearing metal AM parts.
Related standards
The specification cross‑references and aligns with other ASTM material specifications and AM standards — for example, ASTM F1537 and F75 (related cobalt‑chrome wrought/cast specifications) and other AM material specifications such as F2924, F3001, and guidance on PBF cleaning/removal of residues (e.g., F3335). Users commonly consult those standards when specifying material form, processing, or device applicability.
