Metal alloy for medical devices

This invention describes a specific method for creating medical devices using a special metal alloy. This alloy is primarily Molybdenum-Hafnium (MoHf) and is processed by shaping it into a rod or tube, then repeatedly drawing it down and heating it. An optional step involves treating the alloy with nitrogen gas to create a hardened surface before shaping, aiming for devices with improved strength and durability.

Why it matters: In 2014, processing refractory MoHf alloys was challenging. Advances in high-performance metallurgy and manufacturing techniques may now enable more cost-effective production of these improved medical devices.
