Stainless Steels with Biocompatible Properties for Medical Devices

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stainless steels, commercial as well as with special properties, are the principal metallic materials used for medical devices manufacturing. Stainless steels for medical devices should have superior mechanical properties, as: hardness, wear resistance, tensile strength, elongation, fracture toughness, creep resistance etc. This paper aims to present experimental researches regarding the obtaining in vacuum arc remelting device (VAR) of austenitic and martensitic stainless steels and their characterization from microstructure and microhardness point of view.
