Machining trend for cobalt-based and CoCrMo alloys image
Many researchers have analyzed the effect of coolants on tool wear, cutting temperatures, and cutting forces when facing and turning cobalt alloys and CoCrMo alloys for machining surface integrity. Surface integrity is crucial for medical applications, especially for surgical implants and devices. Cobalt alloys and Co/Cr/Mo alloys machining operations typically generate residual stresses through the outer layers of the machined surface of the workpiece, and these residual stresses present a potential risk in terms of crack generation and extension and affect the corrosion resistance of surgical implants.

Nyquist plots and Bode plots of CoCrMo alloys image
Time and cost constraints are necessary to reduce the manufacturing costs of Cobalt alloys and CoCrMo alloys. Some of these elements are obtained by mechanical machining and it is necessary to optimize the machining parameters for these products. Several researchers have conducted experimental studies on the machining of cobalt-based refractory materials in order to establish optimal cutting conditions for different cutting parameters. They have used several optimization techniques based on RSM methods, using sequential quadratic programming algorithms and Kriging interpolation to solve a constrained problem.

Categories of difficult-to-machine materials image
In general, the term machinability can be defined as how easily the material can be machined or cut to the desired shape in terms of tool and process conditions, taking into account surface finish and tool life. The machinability of cobalt chromium molybdenum alloys is comparable to other advanced materials such as nickel and titanium alloys, which are classified as difficult-to-cut materials due to their unique characteristics of high strength, toughness, wear resistance, and low thermal conductivity.
