Implant grade stainless steel, especially austenitic stainless steel (such as 316, 316L stainless steel), is widely used in the medical field. These stainless steel materials have excellent corrosion resistance and strong comprehensive mechanical properties, simple processing technology and relatively low price. They are currently the most widely used and widely used materials in biomedical metals.
Advantages: excellent corrosion resistance, good biocompatibility, strong comprehensive mechanical properties
Disadvantages: may cause allergic reactions, cold processing increases sensitivity
Implant Grade Stainless Steel
Implant grade stainless steel has stronger corrosion resistance than other common stainless steel and is widely used in metal medical implant materials. It is mainly used for replacement and repair of human bones, such as orthopedic implants. In addition, it is also used in dentistry, cardiac surgery, cardiovascular implant stents and other fields.
