Market Titanium is a standard material for medical devices such as hip joints, bone screws, knee joints, bone plates, dental implants, surgical devices, pacemaker cases and centrifuges due to its total resistance to attack by body fluids, high strength and low modulus.
Metal of Choice for Medical Applications The body readily accepts titanium since it is more biocompatible than stainless steel or cobalt chrome. Titanium also has a higher fatigue strength than many other metals. The unique qualities of titanium prove to be MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging ) and CT (Computed Tomography ) compatible.
Machinability The machinability of titanium is comparable to most stainless steels and better than cobalt chrome. Sharp, clean tools with good chip removal and ample coolant are recommended when Drilling, Turning, Milling or Cold Sawing titanium. The work hardening rate for titanium is less than stainless steel. See our on-line Technical Brochure for additional machining information.
