Cold Heading for Medical Manufacturing
Our specialty at DNI Marshall is cold forming small parts. Medical components and instruments are getting ever smaller. We have evolved to meet the demands of the Medical Industry, supplying miniature screws, tiny contact pins, platinum rivets, power pins, implant components, tiny fasteners, discs, miniature medical fasteners, and many other custom precious metal parts. We can form a diameter as small as 0.010 inches. We are accustomed to working with a wide variety of metals, from copper to platinum alloys. Whether your product requirement is current carrying, weld ability, or biocompatibility, we can help you develop your part. Our metallurgists can even formulate an alloy to meet your needs. |
![]() Many alloys suitable for implantable or invasive applications can be cold headed more easily than they can be machined. For example, nickel, platinum, tantalum, gold, and some stainless steels are difficult to machine but can be cold formed. Electrodes, antenna leads, screws, and stent markers are all products that are well suited for cold forming. Technical support is available from our cold forming engineers, as well as our R&D group in Bloomfield, CT. This group is well known in the medical and other industries for their expertise in alloy development and selection of appropriate alloys for biomedical applications. |
![]() Our quality systems support the production of medical device components. The nature of the cold forming process leads to significant cost and quality advantages.
