In the medical industry,Titanium Gr23 & Nitinol medical flat wire,specially Custom flat wire is used for a variety of cardiovascular and diagnostic applications, Medical devices , Orthodontic arc wire, medical robotics and dental treatment
XOT Metals offer two different metals of flat wires
Titanium Gr23
Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) is a titanium alloy with aluminium and vanadium. It is a purer version of the standard TA6V alloy. Interstitial element contents (iron, oxygen and carbon) are strictly controlled and limited during the fusion process. This purity grants the metal: improved mechanical properties and greater resistance to fatigue. The Ti6Al4V ELI is especially popular due to its ductility at cryogenic temperatures and its excellent biocompatibility with the human body, making it an essential material in the manufacture of medical implants (surgical, dental, etc.).
Key Benefits
- Corrosion resistance
- Fatigue resistance
- Biocompatibility
Nitinol
Nitinol is a nickel-titanium alloy with super elasticity and shape memory properties. Shape memory refers to the ability of Nitinol to undergo deformation at one temperature, then recover its original, under formed shape upon heating above its transformation temperature. Super elasticity occurs at a narrow temperature range just above its transformation temperature; in this case, no heating is necessary to cause the under formed shape to recover, and the material exhibits enormous elasticity, some 10-30 times that of ordinary metal.
Key Benefits
- super elasticity
- Shape memory
- Biocompatibility

XOT support on Medical flat wire business
We understand medical device development timelines continue to be reduced. The need for device designers to iterate quickly is accelerating and rarely supported by the supply chain. To better serve our customers’ ever increasing requirements, we stock the popular flat wire size and also hold the raw material of flat wire,all this can shortten the lead time of each order.
Contact us so we can help you find the right Medical flat wire for your application.
