Orthopedic components require approved biocompatible BÖHLER steels with high fatigue strength and corrosion resistance. Key quality features include ultra-clean materials, full traceability, controlled heat treatment, and rigorous testing for reliable implant performance.
Orthopedic applications in medical technology, such as implants, bone screws, plates, and surgical instruments, require approved materials with the highest levels of reliability, biocompatibility, and mechanical performance. These components are subject to complex loading conditions, including cyclic stresses, wear, and exposure to body fluids, while maintaining strict requirements for sterility and long-term stability. Material requirements therefore focus on high fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, fracture toughness, and excellent surface quality to support osseointegration and minimize wear or adverse biological reactions.
BÖHLER high-performance steels and alloys are specifically developed and approved to meet these demanding orthopedic requirements. Advanced stainless steels, including austenitic, martensitic, and precipitation-hardened grades, provide an optimized balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Produced using advanced vacuum melting technologies, BÖHLER materials ensure superior cleanliness, low inclusion content, and homogeneous microstructures, which are critical for long-term implant performance. Key quality features include precise control of chemical composition, certified traceability, and validated heat treatment processes to guarantee reproducible properties. Extensive testing, including fatigue, corrosion, and surface integrity verification, ensures compliance with stringent medical standards. BÖHLER materials support safe, durable, and high-precision orthopedic solutions.
Bohler L533 is the „Extra Low Interstitials“ version of the classic Ti-6Al-4V alloy with special high purity and lower content of oxygen and iron.
