🏥 Medical Implants
Small precision part, complex curved surfaces (articular), hex/cross drive, self-tapping thread
What is Medical Implants?
🏥 Medical Implants represents a complete system of precision titanium components engineered for Medical Device applications. Small precision part, complex curved surfaces (articular), hex/cross drive, self-tapping thread The system integrates 8 distinct component types manufactured through 3 specialized processes.
Key manufacturing processes for this system include CNC swiss turning for orthopedic joints geometry, Cryogenic deburring with Class 6g gauge, Ultrasonic clean Class 10k with Class 6g gauge, Sterile packaging with Class 6g gauge, CNC swiss turning for trauma fixation geometry, each selected and qualified to meet component-specific requirements.
Engineering & Design Principles
Material: Grade 23 ELI (ASTM F136) is the standard for surgical implants. Extra-low interstitials (O<=0.13%) improve fracture toughness. Do not substitute industrial TC4.
Form: Bar is the standard form for bone screws/plates. Single-setup Swiss turning, good surface quality, batch consistency.
Standards & Material Specifications
Standards: ASTM F136, Annealed, 100% dimensional inspection + surface contamination test, sterile packaging

1 Part Feature Analysis
Small precision part, complex curved surfaces (articular), hex/cross drive, self-tapping thread
- ⚠️ Biocompatibility
- ⚠️ Fatigue fracture
- ⚠️ Osseointegration
- ⚠️ Sterile processing
- ⚠️ Stress shielding
2 Material Selection Rationale
Grade 23 Ti-6Al-4V ELI — Ultra-low interstitial, implant grade
Grade 23 ELI (ASTM F136) is the standard for surgical implants. Extra-low interstitials (O<=0.13%) improve fracture toughness. Do not substitute industrial TC4.
3 Form Selection Rationale
Round Bar / Rod — for turning, fasteners
Bar is the standard form for bone screws/plates. Single-setup Swiss turning, good surface quality, batch consistency.
4 Manufacturing Process & Services

Process Pitfalls:
- ⚠️ Self-tapping threads require no burrs; use thread rolling instead of cutting
- ⚠️ Implant surface must be free of iron contamination; use dedicated Ti-alloy tooling

Manufacturing Process Flow
Swiss-type automatic lathes use a sliding headstock and fixed guide bushing to machine slender titanium components. The guide bushing supports the bar
Titanium anodizing (AMS 2488) grows a controlled oxide layer through electrochemical conversion in an electrolyte bath. Type II produces interference
Thread rolling cold-forms threads by displacing material between two reciprocating or rotary dies, rather than cutting it away. Compressive residual s
