Built smaller and stronger—so your devices can go further

When smaller and stronger is what youโ€™re after for your highly demanding applications, our tungsten ultra strength and 304V ultra strength are popular choices. These ultra-strength materials are engineered to provide you with more tensile strength, greater ductility, and enhanced design flexibility where it matters most.

Hereโ€™s what sets these materials apart ๐Ÿ‘‡

Tungsten ultra strength

๐Ÿ’ช Up to 1.5x stronger than industry standard tungsten

๐Ÿ” Greater ductility at small diameters to reduce fracture risk

๐Ÿ“ Uniform grain structure for consistent performance over long lengths

โšก Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity

๐Ÿฉป High density delivers strong radiopacity and smoother surface finishes

Processed to diameters of 0.127 mm [0.005 in] and smaller, tungsten ultra strength provides an average 30%+ increase in overall tensile strength versus conventionally processed tungsten. It supports high-performance applications like surgical robotics, aerospace systems, and vascular therapies. Explore further: Tungsten ultra strength

304V ultra strength

๐Ÿš€ Up to 275 MPa (40 ksi) tensile strength increase over 304V Hyten

๐Ÿง  Added ductility and toughness for complex catheter designs

๐Ÿ“‰ Enables downsizing wire for more compact, cost-effective devices

Used to increase strength in springs and guidewires, 304V ultra strength, especially when paired with tungsten ultra strength, goes the extra mile for catheter reinforcement. Stronger, smaller materials donโ€™t just withstand repeated stress; they unlock the opportunity for more creative solutions.

If you desire higher fatigue, increased design flexibility, and an overall smaller device, ultra-strength materials open new possibilities. Be sure to check out our webinar: Ultra Strength Wire Solutions for Braiding.
