1.4441 MED - Austenitic stainless steel / X2CrNiMo18-15-3 / AISI 316LVM

Description

Material 1.4441 MED (X2CrNiMo18-15-3 / AISI 316LVM) – Austenitic Stainless Steel Properties and Applications

The material 1.4441 MED, also designated as X2CrNiMo18-15-3 or AISI 316LVM, is an austenitic stainless steel produced by vacuum melting to achieve extremely high purity. It offers excellent biocompatibility, outstanding corrosion resistance and very low inclusion content. This stainless steel is widely used in medical technology for surgical instruments, implants and springs, as well as in the chemical and food industries. Due to its molybdenum content, 1.4441 MED provides improved resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications requiring purity and durability.
