316LVM Stainless Steel – High Grade for Precision Capillary Tube Applications

2025-08-15

What Is 316LVM Stainless Steel? 316LVM (Low Vacuum Melting) stainless steel is the gold standard material for surgical implants and critical medical applications. Manufactured under vacuum to reduce inclusions and improve fatigue resistance, 316LVM meets the stringent requirements of ISO 5832-1 and ASTM F138 standards for implantable medical applications. As a precision grade 316LVM stainless steel OEM manufacturer, we produce capillary tubes, surgical needles, shaver blades, and implantable components with full material traceability and EN 10204 3.1 certification. Chemical Composition (ISO 5832-1) Element Specification (%) Typical Value (%) Carbon (C) ≤0.03 0.02 Silicon (Si) ≤0.75 0.45 Manganese (Mn) ≤2.0 1.20 Phosphorus (P) ≤0.025 0.018 Sulfur (S) ≤0.010 0.003 Chromium (Cr) 16.5-18.0 17.2 Molybdenum (Mo) 2.0-2.5 2.2 Nickel (Ni) 12.0-14.0 13.0 Nitrogen (N) ≤0.10 0.05 Mechanical Properties Property Requirement Typical Value Tensile Strength ≥485 MPa 550-620 MPa Yield Strength (0.2% offset) ≥170 MPa 250-300 MPa Elongation ≥30% 35-45% Hardness ≤190 HB (≤95 HRB) 150-170 HB Density — 8.0 g/cm³ Melting Point — 1371-1400°C Why 316LVM for Implants? 1. Superior Corrosion Resistance The molybdenum addition (2.0-2.5%) provides exceptional resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion in body fluids. The low carbon content (≤0.03%) prevents carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring corrosion resistance in the heat-affected zone. 2. Biocompatibility 316LVM passes ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing: Cytotoxicity: Non-cytotoxic Sensitization: Non-sensitizing Irritation: Non-irritating Acute systemic toxicity: Non-toxic Implantation: Well-tolerated in vivo 3. Fatigue Resistance Vacuum melting reduces non-metallic inclusions, significantly improving fatigue resistance — critical for implantable devices subjected to cyclic loading (e.g., pacemaker leads, orthopedic implants). 4. Weldability Low carbon content enables welding without post-weld annealing, maintaining corrosion resistance and mechanical properties in welded assemblies. Applications in Medical Applications Application Product Type Form Pacemaker leads Sensing electrodes, conductor tubes Capillary tube OD 0.3-1.5mm Stent delivery systems Catheter components, guidewires Micro-tube, wire Orthopedic implants Screw components,…
