ASTM F138 Stainless Steel 316LVM Medical Wire Flexible Wire
316LVM is a type of stainless steel that undergoes vacuum arc remelting to enhance its corrosion resistance and produce a microstructure free of ferrite. Compared to standard 316L, this version of 316 stainless steel has a higher nickel content and lower levels of carbon, molybdenum, and chromium. It is commonly dual-certified and known as 316LS stainless steel. Additionally, 316LVM displays exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and physiological environments. These properties make it an ideal choice for use in medical applications and high-precision electronic devices.

Quality control of raw materials
Slight changes in chemical composition and mechanical properties of raw materials will have a significant impact on the properties of finished steel wire. Therefore, the quality of base bar is one of the key factors to determine the quality of finished steel wire. We will strictly test the raw materials. Only raw materials that pass the test and meet the standards can go to the next process.
Quality Control
Raw Materials: MTC checking(PMI), Tensile strength test, Surface/Dimension inspection
Prodcution: Specially assigned person shall follow up and check according to the process flow card, and finally keep the copy
Before shipment: Mechanical properties test, Surface/Dimension inspection, or according to customers’ requirement
