CUSTOM 455 PER STRYKER MS0042
Custom 455, as described in Stryker MS0042, is a precipitation-hardenable stainless steel utilized in the creation of medical device components and medical device instruments. The MS0042 specification defines what Custom 455 must be to assure it has reliable mechanical properties, excellent corrosion resistance, and good metallurgical quality in the challenging environment of medical device applications.
This stainless steel alloy is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel designed with chromium, nickel, titanium, niobium, and copper. The precise blend allows it to attain extremely high strength through aging heat treatment, in addition to corrosion resistance. As a result, Custom 455 stainless steel has become one of the best options for precision medical device components that require repetitive mechanical stress with reliable performance.
