What is Medical
Austenitic Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel with austenitic organisation at room temperature becomes austenitic stainless steel, the chromium content is generally between 16%-26%, austenitic mainly by cold working to strengthen the hardness, because of its low carbon content, welding performance is better, corrosion resistance is also very good. It has excellent corrosion resistance and is used more in conventional medical devices, such as: puncture products, handles, and non-critical parts of the product.
Corrosion-Resistant Medical Austenitic Stainless Steel
Medical austenitic stainless steel, with low carbon content, offers excellent weldability and corrosion resistance. It is used in non-load-bearing components requiring high corrosion resistance, such as puncture instruments, instrument cases, handles, and syringes.
Advantages
Excellent corrosion resistance
Good machinability
Low cost
Disadvantages
Low hardness
Poor wear resistance
