Austenitic Stainless Steels : Implant Grade
Click on the alloy details to view extended information. We have the following implant grade austenitic stainless steels available.
1.4472 is an austenitic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance combined with good mechanical properties. Rigorous selection of the raw materials used in the steel and the use of consumable electrode remelting results in a very high quality grade making 1.4472 stainless steel a great choice for the production of permant surgical implants and osteosynthesis devices.

Cobalt Alloys : Implant Grade
Click on the alloy details to view extended information. We have the following implant grade cobalt alloys available.
Cobalt-Chrome-Molybdenum (CCM) is commonly used in the orthopaedic implant industry, due to its excellent biocompatibility and wear resistance. Biodur® CCM colbalt alloy has a much higher tolerance in the human body than that of Nickel or Cobalt and therefore less toxicity. This makes Biodur® CCM colbalt alloy ideal for implants for knee replacements, hip replacements, shoulder replacements and general fracture fixation.

6Al-7Nb titanium alloy is a dedicated, medium strength titanium alloy for surgical implants. The alloy was developed specifically for the manufacture of femoral component items used in hip prostheses. The metallurgy of 6Al-7Nb titanium alloy is closely analogous to that of Titanium 6AL-4V but biocompatibility is improved with the replacement of vanadium by niobium.
