Titanium implants - Import export

Titanium for Implantable Medical Devices Ti 6Al/4V ELI sheet has found application in medical implants owing to its excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility. In the cold rolled and annealed temper the material will not exhibit a continuous alpha network at prior beta grain boundaries or a continuous alpha case layer on the surface. Owing to the alloy’s high strength and low ductility, it is difficult to cold draw into finished shapes. Hot forming has been found to be effective.

Our precision metal strip products are custom-made in biocompatible alloys for implantable medical devices that improve quality of life for patients around the world. We work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals to manufacture innovative metal materials that enable smaller, lighter and higher performing medical implants. Superior Titanium Strip for Implantable Medical Devices We have developed proprietary practices for the successful reduction of Titanium Grade 5 (6Al-4V) and Titanium Grade 23 Alloys (6Al-4V ELI) to thicknesses of 0.0039” (0.10mm). Our process results in a finish much superior to alternative methods of etching or grinding strips to gauge. This surface finish and gauge control translates to improvements in finished product quality as well as process controls during drawing, stamping, etching or laser cutting. These alloys are offered in the fully annealed or the as-rolled tempers.

Our titanium strip portfolio includes titanium grade 23 (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) and titanium grade 5 (Ti 6Al-4V). These products are custom-made to exacting specifications and predominantly used for implantable medical devices. We also work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals, part of AMETEK Specialty Metal Products, to engineer titanium strip and foil in Ti Grades 1, 2, 4 and 9 down to 1.5 microns (0.000060”) thickness. Titanium Grade 23 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) Ti 6Al/4V ELI strip is used in medical implant applications owing to its excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility. Titanium Grade 5 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V) Ti 6Al/4V strip has an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and fabricability. Consequently, it is used extensively in aerospace, medical, marine, and chemical processing, and surgical implants.

Titanium exhibits a unique combination of properties including excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and outstanding strength to weight ratios. Titanium is produced as commercially pure or alloyed. Commercially pure titanium is typically used in implantable medical applications whereas the titanium alloys are produced with the addition of vanadium or aluminum for applications such as aerospace. Hamilton Precision Metals processes strip and foil products in Titanium CP (Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 4) and Titanium 3Al-2.5V (Grade 9).
