Introduction to F136 T6Al4V ELI Medical Titanium Rods by Sunning Steel Limited

Sunning Steel Limited, a reputable manufacturer in the titanium industry, proudly introduces its F136 T6Al4V ELI Medical Titanium Rods. These rods are specifically designed for medical applications, combining high performance with exceptional biocompatibility.

Product Specifications


The F136 T6Al4V ELI Medical Titanium Rods offered by Sunning Steel Limited comply with industry standards such as GB/T13810-2007, ASTM F136, and ASTM F67. They are available in various grades, including TC4/GR5, TC4ELI/GR5ELI, tailored to meet the diverse needs of medical implants and surgical instruments. Specifications range from Ф6.0mm to Ф16mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of medical devices.


Material Properties


T6Al4V ELI (Titanium 6 Aluminum 4 Vanadium Extra Low Interstitial) is a variant of the popular T6Al4V titanium alloy, known for its smaller interstitial spaces, which contribute to its high toughness. This alloy is particularly suitable for use in seawater and low-temperature environments. It is typically used in the annealed state, providing a balance of strength and ductility.


The medical titanium rods exhibit high tensile strength ranging from 980-1050 MPa and yield strength between 960-1000 MPa, with a post-fracture elongation of 25% and reduction of area at fracture of 45%. These properties, combined with its excellent biocompatibility, make it an ideal choice for orthopedic implants such as joints and spines.

Production Process


Sunning Steel Limited adheres to stringent production processes to ensure the highest quality of its medical titanium rods. The rods undergo a dual annealing process, including stress relief annealing at 900-1200°F for 1-4 hours followed by solution annealing at 50-100°F below the beta transus temperature for at least one hour, then reheating to 1300-1400°F for another hour. This process ensures optimal mechanical properties and microstructural uniformity.


Applications


The F136 T6Al4V ELI Medical Titanium Rods are widely used in the medical field due to their low density, high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. They are ideal for orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, and various medical devices. Their ability to withstand high temperatures, low temperatures, strong acids, and strong bases makes them suitable for a range of environments and applications.


Quality Assurance


Sunning Steel Limited takes quality assurance seriously. From the initial raw material inspection of sponge titanium to the final non-destructive testing and polishing of the finished rods, every step is rigorously controlled. Samples are taken from the top, middle, and bottom of each ingot after casting for composition analysis, and ultrasonic testing is performed to ensure the integrity of the material. Physical performance testing is conducted on finished products to verify that they meet the specified standards.


Conclusion


Sunning Steel Limited's F136 T6Al4V ELI Medical Titanium Rods represent the pinnacle of titanium alloy technology for medical applications. With their superior mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and stringent quality control, these rods are the perfect choice for manufacturers of medical implants and devices. Sunning Steel Limited is committed to providing high-quality products and services to customers worldwide, enabling them to achieve greater success in their medical endeavors.
