Product Description

In medical device manufacturing, a variety of factors such as biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, workability and suitability for sterilization and pasteurization processes need to be considered when selecting materials. The manufacture of Stamped Parts requires precise mold design and high-quality stamping technology to ensure the dimensional accuracy, functionality and safety of medical devices.

What special materials are usually used for Hardware Stamping Parts when making medical devices?

1. Stainless steel: 316L group of stainless steel especially has more application in medical area due to their excellent characteristic such as high corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and good mechanical properties. Stainless steel stamping parts are widely applied in surgical instruments, implants, and structural sections of medical device.

2. Titanium and titanium alloys: Since they have ultra-high strength to weight ratio, high biocompatibility and excellent resistance to corrosion, they are ideal materials to be used in, say, implants such as orthopedics, heart valve replacements, skull plate, etc. Perfect and durable Titanium alloy Metal Stamping Dies is also utilised in creating enhanced strength medical instruments.

3. Nitinol: This is a Nickel Titanium alloy that possesses superelasticity and shape memory properties as well as biocompatibility. New applications include the use of nitinol stampings in making of vascular stents, catheter, surgical forceps and any other medical tools that need shape memory characteristics.

4. Cobalt chromium alloy: Being characterized by high hardness, high strength and good biocompatibility, HSS is suitable for the processing of the medical devices which have the high-strength requirements, for example, dental implants, joint replacement parts and so on.

5. Precious metals: Much like platinum, gold and silver these are used for the production of electrodes, sensors and other ultra sensitive medical device parts because of their compatibility with the human body and their capability to conduct electricity.
