Distinctive feature & main attribute: a rust- and acid-proofed chromium-nickel-molybdenum-steel

alloy, precedingly refined by an electroslag remelting process (ESR), designed for components with
increased chemical stability due to the quality standards ISO 5832-1 and ASTM F-138, nevertheless,
it has a limited machinability and high wear of tools.
Use & application range: this quality particularly meets the requirement of implants, implant screws
and surgical instruments.
