Precision and reliability are paramount when it comes to parts for medical applications. At Auto-Way, we excel in the production and supply of investment castings, sand castings, and precision machined components specifically tailored for diagnostic equipment, surgical instruments, biosystem equipment, prosthetics, and patient handling equipment.
Materials Used for Medical Casting and Precision Machining Parts
Materials for medical components must meet stringent safety requirements, ensuring they are not only hard-wearing but also corrosion-resistant and fatigue-resistant, especially when used in load-bearing applications. At Auto-Way, we offer a wide range of materials, including anodized aluminum, cobalt chrome alloys, 6AL4V titanium, 316 and 17-4 precipitation-hardened stainless steels. These materials are carefully chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and safety in human contact.
In the medical field, components often undergo rigorous sterilization and cleaning processes, such as peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide treatments, which can strip off paints and coatings. Many of our components are left uncoated to prevent any risk of flaking during use. Our equipment also provides smooth surface finishes, reducing the need for additional grinding and polishing processes. Through meticulous material selection, we ensure that our components are not only safe but also built to last.
