Higher strength, better corrosion resistance, and improved biocompatibility compared with other BioDur alloys have been demonstrated by BioDur 108, an essentially nickel-free stainless steel alloy designed for medical implants. As Table 1 shows, nitrogen is present at levels >0.90%, compared with 0.10 to 0.50% for the other Biodur alloys, and nickel levels are no higher than 0.05%, compared with 9 to 15%.
