[For Medical Devices] Silicolloy-Zero3: Pursuing Biocompatibility

Contributing to the improvement of medical device quality with precipitation-hardened stainless steel that achieves both high hardness and high corrosion resistance.

In the medical device industry, biocompatibility, durability, and advanced functionality are required. Particularly for medical devices that come into direct contact with the human body, such as implants and surgical instruments, the safety of materials and the maintenance of long-term performance are essential. It is important to select materials that reduce the risk of metal allergies and can withstand long-term use. Silicolloy-Zero3 has a high hardness of 56-58 HRC and corrosion resistance comparable to austenitic stainless steel, contributing to the reliability of medical devices. 【Application Scenarios】 - Implants - Surgical instruments - Medical pins - Other medical device components requiring biocompatibility 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Reduced risk of metal allergies - Assurance of long-term durability - Realization of advanced functionality - Improved product reliability

Silicolloy is a revolutionary new material that contains a large amount of silicon (silicon) and was developed using pure domestic technology. Silicolloy is a super alloy that possesses high strength, heat resistance (high-temperature oxidation resistance), corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high hardness, and low dimensional changes during heat treatment, all in one steel. Currently, many engineers (technicians and designers) are advancing its commercialization, contributing to new product development and total cost reduction through extended product lifespan. There are 'Silicolloy A2', which excels in overall balance as a precipitation-hardened stainless steel, and 'Silicolloy XVI', which has the highest hardness in the world as a precipitation-hardened type. Those who require both corrosion resistance and high hardness should definitely take note! In 2025, a new material called 'Axia Zero Series' will be developed. This new material is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel that not only has high corrosion resistance and high hardness but also high strength and high durability. 'Axia Zero3' achieves high hardness of 56-58 HRC, high corrosion resistance equivalent to austenitic types, and high strength in the 2000 MPa range. It features hardness obtained through precipitation hardening treatment at 480°C, which minimizes deformation and dimensional changes due to heat treatment and resolves various issues related to quenching.
