Many medical devices require components to meet dual material requirements (biocompatible, electrical, mechanical, etc.). Newly developed electron-beam welding technologies at Technical Materials Inc., Lincoln, R.I., can reportedly optimize an implant's design for manufacturability. Electron beam welding is a high-energy vacuum technology applicable to joining virtually all alloys.

Dissimilar alloys with different thickness or properties may now being joined prior to stamping for a variety of components. Converting a subassembly of multiple parts into a single stamping of ...
