316LVM Stainless Steel Coil,Strip Medical Grade UNS S31673 ASTM F138 overview
316LVM (low carbon vacumm melt) stainless steel, regarded as a medical grade, this stainless steel is vacuum melted to achieve high levels of purity and cleanliness. It has excellent resistance to both general and intergranular corrosion, and pitting and crevice corrosion. The vacuum melt allows for superior surface finish.
316LVM Stainless Steel is most commonly sold medical stainless steel. Breaking down the name, this is a low-carbon version of 316 that has been vacuum arc remelted to reduce impurities.
Beyond removing impurities, this process, in combination with the unique nickel and chromium content of 316, tends to facilitate the formation of the surface chromium oxide layer that makes stainless steel corrosion resistant. There is some belief that T-316 LVM forms a more substantial surface layer, and that this plays a strong role in protecting the host body from reactions to the nickel content of the material.

Coil Slitting Mill Capability :
Striping processing, commonly known as “slitting “, refers to the winding of a metal coil by unwinding, slitting, leveling, winding, and processing into a desired width. Slitting processing is a basic metal processing technology that combines high-quality equipment with skilled craftsmanship. it can be obtained with strict tolerance, perfect surface control , safe packaging as well as fine transportation.
