Implant material 316LVM, 1.4441 stainless steel, specifically designed for use in the body, 

the LVM means low carbon, vacuum melted, which to ensure high levels of purity and cleanliness,

and a uniform, ferrite free microstructure.

Characteristics

Biocompatibility

With its high purity and excellent corrosion resistance, it is considered safe for direct contact with human tissue and bodily fluids.

Corrosion Resistance

It offers superior resistance to general, intergranular, pitting, and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride environments.

High Strength and Durability

The vacuum melting process improves the stainless alloy 316LVM mechanical properties,

including high tensile strength, good ductility, and enhanced fatigue resistance,

allowing it to withstand the constant stresses of being in the human body.

Non-Magnetic

The 316LVM stainless alloy is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and remains nearly non-magnetic

even after cold working, which is beneficial for certain medical applications where magnetic interference needs to be minimized.

Applications

316LVM, 1.4441 stainless steel is widely used in medical implants, such as Orthopedic implants, Dental implants,

surgical instruments, jewelry.

316LVM stainless steel meets international standards for surgical implant materials, such as

ASTM F138 UNS S31673 stainless steel bar and wire for surgical implants

ASTM F139  UNS S31673 stainless steel sheet and strip for surgical implants

and ISO 5832-1 implants for surgery, metallic materials, part 1, wrought stainless steel 

We stock 316LVM, 1.4441, X2CrNiMo18-15-3, UNS S31673 stainless steel wire, rod, round bar, and sheet, strip
