Case Study
Polishing Cobalt Chrome
Polishing Cobalt Chrome - Case Study Kemet have a three stage polishing process that gives a ?at and blemish free mirror polish on Titanium, and Cobalt Chrome tibial implant. Until now almost all Tibial polishing has included a labour intensive hand bu?ng operation as the ?nal stage. This has always resulted in very rounded components, and pluck out problems particularly on the Cobalt Chrome tibial implants. Test Requirements: Perfect mirror polish on 5 Tibial implants Component/Material: Cobalt Chrome Tibial implant (Orthopedic Implants) Abrasive Type/Grade: Kemet diamond slurry Machine: Kemet Tibial polishing system The components were ?rst run on a Kemet Tibial polishing system with Kemet rough lap diamond slurry. This produced a good ?at ?nish with scratches visible across the surface
