Built smaller and stronger – so your devices can go further
When smaller and stronger materials are required for highly demanding applications, our tungsten ultra strength and 304V ultra strength are popular choices.
Tungsten ultra strength
💪 Up to 1.5x stronger than industry standard tungsten
🔁 Greater ductility at small diameters to reduce fracture risk
📏 Uniform grain structure for consistent performance over long lengths
⚡ Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity
🩻 High density delivers strong radiopacity and smoother surface finishes
Processed to diameters of 0.127 mm [0.005 in] and smaller, tungsten ultra strength provides an average 30%+ increase in overall tensile strength versus conventionally processed tungsten. It supports high-performance applications like surgical robotics, aerospace systems, and vascular therapies. Explore further: Tungsten ultra strength
304V ultra strength
🚀 Up to 275 MPa (40 ksi) tensile strength increase over 304V Hyten
🧠 Added ductility and toughness for complex catheter designs
📉 Enables downsizing wire for more compact, cost-effective devices
Used to increase strength in springs and guidewires, 304V ultra strength, especially when paired with tungsten ultra strength, goes the extra mile for catheter reinforcement. Stronger, smaller materials don’t just withstand repeated stress; they unlock the opportunity for more creative solutions. If you desire higher fatigue, increased design flexibility, and an overall smaller device, ultra-strength materials open new possibilities.
