Pure Titanium F67 Gr 1

The Titanium was a laboratory curiosity until 1946, when Kroll developed a process for the commercial production of Titanium by reducing the tetra chloride of Titanium. From that time on, the availability of
Titanium promoted the development of new and improved alloys.

Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust and the fourth metallic element. Its atomic number is 22, near copper, nickel and iron in the periodic table. Titanium is a metal element well known for its excellent corrosion resistance and its great mechanical strength. Titanium is a light metal, strong, easy to manufacture and with low density. He's as strong as steel and 45% lighter.

In the last three decades, there has been rapid and significant progress in the development of medical instrumentation and implants with the use of Titanium. As the requirements for materials have become increasingly sophisticated, Titanium and its alloys have been experienced in numerous situations. Scientists from the Los Alamos Laboratory (United States) and Bashkir State University (Russia) developed Pure Titanium, a material suitable for the manufacture of medical implants. Pure Titanium has high corrosion resistance characteristics. The development of Pure Titanium occurred through the junction of ECAP processes ("Equal Channel Angular Pressing") and cold extrusion.

Pure Titanium F67 Gr 1 is largely used in medical applications requiring conformation and flexibility in delicate areas such as mouth and cranium. This material is generally considered chemically inert, compatible with human tissues and resistant to corrosion caused by human fluids. In certain regions of the body, due to the toxicity of other alloys such as F136 (6Al4vELI), which contains Aluminium, Vanadium and the non-mechanical requirement of the site of use, in addition to better bone integration, make Pure Titanium F67 the best option.

For these areas, the Pure Titanium F67 Gr 1 to be used in implant production is defined by the specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American normalization organ. ASTM develops and publishes technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems and services.

Among the international standards that specify the use of Titanium F67 Gr 1 for surgeries and implants, ASTM F67 – "Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium, for Surgical Implant Applications" (UNS R50250, UNS R50400, UNS R50550, UNS R50700), determine the patterns of Pure Titanium to be used in such procedures with F67 Gr 1.

Through these technical specifications, medical researchers evaluated the commercially pure Pure Titanium F67 Gr 1, defining it as exceptional material for applications in surgical implants. Beyond Titanium Pure F67 Gr 1, several other types were also considered as highly corrosion resistant and convenient for medical applications, but acceptance of Pure Titanium F67 Gr 1 is very large.
