Alloying and Melting

Biocompatible metals are a Heraeus heritage and forte. Strength, shape memory, fatigue and corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and conductive properties are all factors addressed in our refinement and alloy processes. Most of these alloys are melted in-house using:

• Induction melting
• Vacuum melting
• Electron beam melting

When appropriate, we select source metals from other suppliers. A few of the metals we work with include:

From ingot blanks through each step of the metalworking process, we apply our deep knowledge of fine metallurgy to deliver top performance in your component.
