DESCRIPTION OF 316LVM ROD
The 316LS / 316LVM steel for surgery is electroslag remelting (ESR) or vacuum arc remelting (VAR), low carbon, high nickel and molybdenum versions of 316 stainless steel. Secondary high quality melting step can improve cleanliness. The chemical modification is designed to maximize the corrosion resistance of the alloy and to provide a ferrite free microstructure. The alloy is nonmagnetic, even after strict cold molding
