How Is Vitallium Made?

Vitallium is an alloy of 65% cobalt, 30% chromium, 5% molybdenum, and other substances. The alloy is used in dentistry and artificial joints, because of its resistance to corrosion. It is also used for components of turbochargers because of its thermal resistance.

What is in Vitallium?

Vitallium is a similar alloy which contains 60% cobalt, 20% chromium, 5% molybdenum along with traces of other substances. It has been in use along with stainless steel for the last century because of its lightweight, favourable mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion.

What type of alloy is Vitallium?

Vitallium is a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy introduced in the 1930s. It has a higher resistance to fatigue or fracture than either stainless steel or titanium. Because of its high tensile strength, lower-profile plates that have narrow interconnecting bars between the holes can be implanted.
