Medical tubing is an essential component in an ever-expanding array of delivery systems and related devices used in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Round or flat stainless steel wire is often used to braid-reinforce tubing for applications that require torque transmission, burst strength, ... Continue Reading

Flat metal products are typically specified to a set of mechanical properties. Ultimate tensile strength, 0.2% offset yield strength, percent elongation, and hardness are applied representations of how the building blocks of a given material behave in response to an applied load. Tensile, yield, and... Continue Reading

New technologies and clinical procedures demand more sophisticated metal components. In recent years, suppliers of metal parts to the medical device industry have registered impressive gains in the quality of their performance. With the advent of statistical process control, ISO 9000 certificatio... Continue Reading

The metal industry is among the oldest in existence. Several countries determine their industry growth by the increase in metals, demonstrating how crucial this material is. The metal supply chain comprises three critical stages: melt mills, re-rollers, and service centers. There are, of course, o... Continue Reading

As part requirements continue to become more advanced, a more complex raw material may be needed to keep up with improving designs. Cheaper alternatives, while cost-saving, can introduce defects and errors across manufacturing processes. These can be solved may times by correct alloy selection and d... Continue Reading
