Features
- ASTM F1713 / UNS R58130 Ti-13Nb-13Zr (Titanium-13Niobium-13Zirconium) wrought Titanium Alloy for Surgical Implants, manufactured for high-performance medical device applications with vanadium-free and aluminum-free composition.
- Exceptional biocompatibility and osseointegration with human tissue, enabling long-term implantation without adverse biological reactions.
- Superior corrosion resistance in physiological environments provided by a stable protective oxide layer, ensuring durability in bodily fluids and harsh in-vivo conditions.
- Lower elastic modulus (closer to natural bone) to minimize stress shielding and improve load transfer for better healing outcomes.
- Lightweight with low density (4.51 g/cm³) combined with high strength and excellent formability for complex medical component design.
- Comprehensive range of product forms: Round bars (4.76–101.6 mm), wires (≤4.76 mm), flats, in annealed, solution treated, aged, or as-rolled conditions with multiple surface finishes (descaled, pickled, sandblasted, ground, polished, etc.).
- Mechanical properties meeting ASTM F1713 requirements: tensile strength up to 860 MPa, yield strength up to 725 MPa, elongation 8–15%, and reduction of area 15–30% depending on processing condition.
- Full material verification and testing with EN 10204 Type 3.1 / 3.2 Mill Test Certificates, including chemical analysis and mechanical property validation for critical surgical implant applications.
