CarTech BioDur 734 stainless is a nitrogen-strengthened, austenitic stainless steel. The alloy exhibits improved tensile strength, impact strength, fatigue strength, and crevice and pitting corrosion resistance over standard CarTech 316L. The microstructural integrity and cleanness of this alloy is insured through electro-slag remelting (ESR). The alloy is non-magnetic and is essentially free of ferrite.

Applications:
CarTech BioDur 734 stainless has been used in implantable orthopaedic components such as bone plates, bone screws, and hip and knee components. These components are typically fabricated by forging and machining.
