Materials

At Fort Wayne Metals, we take pride in working with a wide range of materials from stainless steel and Cobalt-Chrome to Titanium and Nitinol. But we take even more pride in the deep understanding we have for these materials – our understanding helps us to better improve our materials so that they work in your most challenging applications.

Stainless steel is the workhorse of the medical device industry. With reliable properties including corrosion resistance and high strength, it finds uses in both implantable and single-use medical devices.

Stronger, lighter, and more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel, titanium also promotes osseointegration, meaning a bone can grow into the material, further helping to anchor implants in the body.

With the ability to deform and return to a set shape, Nitinol opens a world of possibilities for a range of medical and non-medical applications. Explore our grades of shape memory and superelastic Nitinol.

High-performance alloys are exactingly engineered materials for properties such as strength, fatigue resistance, ductility, good biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance to withstand the pressures of critical applications.
