Medical

Offering reliable high performance steels and alloys

 

Aubert & Duval produces a full range of advanced metals and alloys dedicated to medical applications, including

• Cobalt-based alloys and austenitic stainless steels for prostheses and trauma implants
• High performance stainless steels for surgical instruments (blades, scalpels, etc.) and medical devices (stamples, needles, etc.).

 

 

Applications	Best-in class Materials
Prostheses and trauma implants	M25W, M30NW, M64BC, XSH
Surgical and medical devices	M25W, M30NW, M64BC, XSH
Surgical Instruments	X15TN® ,APX®, MX455(Custom455®), MX466, XDBD(440C)

 

• M64BC: this cobalt-based alloy with a high Cr and Mo content has excellent corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for the production of implants in contact with living tissue.
• M30NW: this austenitic stainless steel with N content combines excellent corrosion resistance (better than M25NW or 316L) with good mechanical properties, meeting technical requirements for the production of implants.

Thanks to strict selection of the raw materials and the use of ESR remelting, Aubert & Duval guarantees the very high quality required for the production of surgical implants.

• X15TN^®: designed by Aubert & Duval, this hardenable martensitic stainless steel is a unique stainless steel for medical applications, combining excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness and very good abrasion resistance. It is the best choice for surgical cutting instruments.
