Stent manufacturing applies to a wide variety of medical applications including cardiovascular applications, birth control, kidney stone pain control and esophageal and gastrointestinal uses.
347 (UNS S34700/1.4550) is a fully austenitic niobium stabilised stainless steel. The addition of Niobium reduces the creation of carbide precipitation in service between 430 to 900 degrees C and during welding processes and increases the mechanical strength of the material.
This grade has good resistance to oxidation and corrosion along with good creep strength and can be used at temperatures where carbide precipitation may occur in non-stabilised grades e.g., 304. It is used principally in aerospace exhaust manifolds and engine components, chemical processing equipment running at high temperatures and in nuclear processing piping.

AMETEK EMC has been manufacturing in the orthopedic device market for decades. With regular technology improvements, we’ve adapted to the latest capabilities. Precision cutting of tube and sheet as well as precision welding with lasers is the key to our capabilities.
Stainless steel powder 316L offers the highest degree of corrosion protection that is available in a standard P/M stainless steel grade. It provides very good strength at extremely high temperatures. AMETEK’s 316 grade stainless steel powder includes many fully customized powder specifications by varying lubricant type, content and particle size. We manufacture high quality 316L powders to fit your applications.
316L stainless steel powders are used in stainless steel flakes and are also used for paint additive manufacturing and chemical filtration.
The 300 Series Powders are austenitic stainless steels typically used for powdered metallurgy (P/M) press and sinter applications to make near net shape parts for a variety of industrial applications.
AMETEK offers a range of wear resistant tool steel powers used in P/M, MIM, and metal additive manufacturing. Tool steels use a combination of C, Cr, Mo, V, and W in an Fe based alloy to generate a carbide microstructure in the metal alloy.
Powder Metallurgy (P/M) tool steels offer the highest grade of performance, especially in respect to toughness, due to the extremely fine and uniform distribution of carbides resulting from the atomization process.
AMETEK offers multiple grades in the M, D, and T series of tool steels including M3-5, D-2, and T-15 among others. Each tool steel is optimized for its respective purpose to give exceptional properties. Some tool steels, such as our premium T-15 grade, can result in hardness near 70 HRC when appropriately processed and heat treated.
Materials that have been routinely produced include M-2, M3-2, M3-5, M4-2, D2, and T15.
Welded and redrawn tube manufacturing employs elements of both the welded and seamless processes.
A welded and redrawn tube is welded in a conventional manner but then transferred to our seamless mill, located in the same factory. Here the product is redrawn to achieve a welded and redrawn finish.
The objective of redrawing is to achieve homogenisation of the weld following annealing by cold working. This refines the structure of the weld resulting in improvements that include:
Better corrosion resistance
Improved fatigue life
Higher mechanical integrity
Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.
AMETEK Specialty Metal Products employs a wrought powder metallurgical process to manufacture custom gauge and width strip materials used as the outside sheathing of flux cored wire and metal cored welding wire.

Our high purity process allows production of wire sheathing materials with significant advantages for flux cored welding wire producers, compared to a conventional casting process. These include:
Very high ductility
Tight and repeatable chemistry control
Availability of unique and custom chemistries
High purity material for improved tool and die life
Corrosion, wear and high temperature resistant
Short lead times and small batch sizes
Find a consolidated listing of our metal sheathing materials in our Weld Wire Sheathing Brochure.
Chemistry Control
We tightly control the chemistry of the incoming raw materials to ensure that trace elements are kept to a very low level. Our wrought powder metallurgy process allows chemistry flexibility

The most common additive manufacturing powder materials produced include:
316L (including A240 grade)
304L
17-4PH®
We also offer specialty austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, as well as a selection of nickel and cobalt alloy powders for 3D printing.
Both medical and surgical equipment play a pivotal role in modern healthcare, enhancing the accuracy of medical procedures, ensuring patient safety, and contributing to improved clinical outcomes. Their continuous innovation and adherence to strict quality standards are vital to advancing medical practice.
Our titanium strip portfolio includes titanium grade 23 (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) and titanium grade 5 (Ti 6Al-4V). These products are custom-made to exacting specifications and predominantly used for implantable medical devices.
We also work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals, part of AMETEK Specialty Metal Products, to engineer titanium strip and foil in Ti Grades 1, 2, 4 and 9 down to 1.5 microns (0.000060”) thickness.
Titanium Grade 23 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V ELI)
Ti 6Al/4V ELI strip is used in medical implant applications owing to its excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility.
Titanium Grade 5 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V)
Ti 6Al/4V strip has an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and fabricability. Consequently, it is used extensively in aerospace, medical, marine, and chemical processing, and surgical implants.
Surgical Implant 316L is a double melted stainless steel, regarded as a medical grade, this stainless steel is melted to achieve high levels of purity and cleanliness. It has excellent resistance to both general and intergranular corrosion, and pitting and crevice corrosion. The double melting allows for superior surface finish.
Surgical implant 316L Stainless Steel is our most commonly sold medical stainless steel.
Beyond removing impurities, this process, in combination with the unique nickel and chromium content of 316, tends to facilitate the formation of the surface chromium oxide layer that makes stainless steel corrosion resistant. There is some belief that surgical implant 316L forms a more substantial surface layer, and that this plays a strong role in protecting the host body from reactions to the nickel content of the material.

UNS NO8904, commonly known as 904L, is a low carbon high alloy austenitic stainless steel which is widely used in applications where the corrosion properties of AISI 316L and AISI 317L are not adequate.
The addition of copper to this grade gives it corrosion resistant properties superior to the conventional chrome nickel stainless steels, in particular to sulphuric, phosphoric and acetic acids. However, there is limited use with hydrochloric acids. It also has a high resistance to pitting in chloride solutions, a high resistance to both crevice and stress corrosion cracking. Alloy 904L performs better than other austenitic stainless steels due to the higher alloying of nickel and molybdenum.
The grade is non-magnetic in all conditions and has excellent formability and weldability. The austenitic structure also gives this grade excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.

Ti 6Al/4V (Titanium Grade 5) is the most widely used of all the alpha-beta titanium alloys accounting for more than 50% of total titanium usuage. It is typically used in the annealed condition, at service temperatures through 400°C (750°F). Ti 6Al/4V is welded with matching or with ELI filler wire.
Ti 6Al/4V is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti. Amongst its many advantages, it is heat treatable.
This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability. In consequence, its uses are numerous such as for military aircraft or turbines. It is also used in surgical implants. Generally, it is used in applications up to 400°C to improve ductility and toughness in cold-worked condition.

The high precision seamless tubes manufactured at Fine Tubes begin their journey as seamless tube extrusions, in a range of different sizes.
This material is reduced in size several times until it gradually reaches the exact specifications our customers require. Each time we perform a reduction process, the tube needs to be cut, cleaned and heat treated before the next one can commence.
