Stainless steels have been used in medical implants and instrumentation since the early 20th century. As the industry advanced, alloys with greater strength, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility were needed — beyond what traditional stainless steels like Type 304 and Type 316 could provide. Nitrogen-strengthened stainless steels were born. Since then, nitrogen-strengthening has allowed stainless steels to become more effective and reliable in orthopedic implants, prosthetics, surgical instruments, and beyond. This white paper outlines nitrogen-strengthened stainless steel’s global market adoption and Carpenter Technology’s portfolio, including type analysis and strength capabilities.
