We supply cladded metal composites that improve the performance of electronic implantable devices. COINING has over 100 years of combined metallurgical expertise in verifying and measuring the composition of these materials. Our materials are biocompatible, durable, and of the highest quality.
What Are the Benefits of BCM’s?
• Longer-lasting battery charge and wireless charging
• Higher reliability of implantable devices
• Biocompatibility and corrosion resistance
Alloys
Our alloying process consists of alloying high performance metals such as Titanium and Gold as well as Kovar and Copper. These alloys are key to delivering strength, electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility
