The reliable choice for surgical instruments and implants: 316LVM stainless steel.

Trust in the strength of 316LVM stainless steel

Choose the durability and longevity of 316LVM stainless steel for your critical applications.

ThisĀ Stainless steel (low carbon vacuum melt) is medical-grade stainless steel that is vacuum melted to attain high levels of purity and cleanliness. 316 surgical stainless steel is resistant to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general and intergranular decline. The vacuum melt produces a smoother surface finish. So, 316lvm stainless steel is a great steelĀ  to use in medical equipment.

The chemical changes are intended to improve the alloy’s corrosion resistance and produce a ferrite-free microstructure. Even after extensive cold forming, the alloy remains nonmagnetic.

What is 316lvm Surgical Steel Popular For?Ā Ā 

316lvm surgical steel is high-grade stainless steel used in the medical field. This material is known for its resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It has a corrosion resistance of 316l with a chromium content of 18% or more. It is widely used in the medical industry because of its high corrosion resistance and durability. 316lvm surgical stainless steel is used in hospitals, operating rooms, dental surgeries, laboratories, and more. It can also be used for industrial purposes such as manufacturing equipment, boilers, turbines, etc.

These stainless steel types are used in medical applications such as surgical instruments, orthopedic implants, and bone screws. The 316lvm surgical steel products are typically made from stainless rod steel but with additional additions such as titanium, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, or nickel. It has excellent corrosion resistance and strength properties due to the high content of chromium in its composition.

316lvm surgical steel stocks have many applications in the medical field. This material can be used for cutting tools like scalpels and saws; these can also be used to make screws that are strong enough to resist breakage during surgery or implant. Also, it is a type of stainless steel, a common alloy used in the construction industry for its high corrosion resistance and strength.
