Composition and Properties of ASTM F136
ASTM F136 Surgical Implants titanium alloy Plate is crafted from Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) alloy, the purest form of surgical titanium. It is processed via descaling, pickling, sand blasting, chemical milling, grinding, machining, and polishing, available in annealed or cold-worked conditions.
Standard Dimension Range:
- (0.3 ~ 3.0) × (400 ~ 1000) × ≤ 3000mm
- (0.1 ~ 0.3) × (100 ~ 500) × L mm
- (0.02 ~ 0.1) × (50 ~ 300) × L mm

Unmatched Core Advantages of ASTM F136
1. Superior Biocompatibility
ISO 10993 certified, non-allergenic, non-cytotoxic, and non-inflammatory. The inert oxide layer supports strong osseointegration with human bone.
2. Exceptional Corrosion Resistance
Resists body fluids, blood, and tissue fluids without corrosion or ion leaching, eliminating postoperative complications.
3. High Strength + Lightweight + Toughness
40% lighter than stainless steel with equal strength; ELI grade delivers outstanding fatigue and fracture resistance.
4. Excellent Machinability & Adaptability
Precisely cut, bent, welded, and drilled for complex implant designs, with elastic modulus matching human bone.
Wide Applications in Medical & Dental Fields
- Orthopedic Surgery: Limb fracture locking plates, reconstruction plates
- Joint Replacement: Hip acetabular cups, knee tibial plateau plates
- Spinal Surgery: Spinal fusion plates, vertebral support systems
- Maxillofacial & Dental: Skull repair plates, dental implant abutments
- Cardiovascular & General Implants: Vascular stents, surgical fixtures
Latest Industry Technology Dynamics
The global surgical implant industry is accelerating the adoption of 3D-printed porous ASTM F136 Surgical Implants Titanium Alloy Plate structures to enhance bone integration and shorten patient recovery times. Advanced surface modification technologies, such as plasma spraying and nano-coating, are now widely applied to improve biocompatibility and antibacterial performance. Minimally invasive surgery trends drive demand for ultra-thin, high-precision ASTM F136 titanium materials. Global regulatory authorities are strengthening purity requirements for Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy, pushing manufacturers to upgrade vacuum melting and purification systems. QYX METAL keeps pace with these trends, integrating 3D processing support and precision manufacturing into our ASTM F136 production lines to meet the strict demands of European and American medical device manufacturers.
