CARATTERISTICHE DEL TITANIO E SUOI GRADI DI DUREZZA
We distinguish the titanium ASTM F64 in health 4 degrees, according to its purity and its strength:
• The degree 1 is undoubtedly the purest, but is too flexible, much that is used exclusively to carry out membranes or titanium grids for guided tissue regeneration. It, if made thin, is malleable, flexible and can be cut with normal scissors.
• The degree 2 contains some components that make it a little 'more resistant, but is generally considered to be still tender for endosseous implants. We run the risk of using the degree 2 is not the fact that the system can break, but the edges of the hexagon coupling can be smooth over time, and give rise to loose coupling that can impair the mechanical strength of the clamping screws passing.
• The degree 3 is even more resistant. It has two fundamental characteristics: purity and mechanical strength to the efforts, that make it an excellent implant material.
• The degree 4 contains more binders in percentages, that give additional strength. This is the grade of titanium used by IsoMed for the realization of all its facilities.
• The degree 5 ELI Titanium or is related to 6% aluminum and the 4% Vanadium, Pure titanium is not so. Besides these degrees, speaking of titanium used for the machining industry, such as the aviation industry, using titanium in a long time because it is lightweight and durable at the same time, if linked with other metals in higher percentages, such as aluminum and other.
