Metallurgists from Rosatom have patented a technology for producing rods made from titanium alloys for medical applications

Chepetsk Mechanical Plant a company within Rosatom's Fuel Division in Glazov, Udmurtia, has patented its own technology for manufacturing rods from titanium and its alloys. The complexity of producing semi-finished rod products lies in the unique physical and chemical properties of titanium. To achieve the required characteristics, optimal processing modes and conditions were selected at all production stages. This new development will enable CMP to produce rods ranging from 5 to 15 mm in diameter with high dimensional accuracy, which is a critical requirement for medical-grade raw materials. The rods meet international standards for medical materials, including medical devices such as bone implants, dental prostheses, and surgical tools.

Currently, the main customer for these rod semi-finished products is Rosatom Implant (a subsidiary of LLC Rosatom MetallTech, an integrator within Rosatom's Fuel Division specializing in metallurgy). This company manufactures final products such as titanium implants for bone and intraosseous osteosynthesis, as well as tools for their implantation.

Rosatom's metallurgical divisions regularly showcase their unique developments at the Metal-Expo exhibition, which will be held in Saint Petersburg from November 11 to 14 this year. Rosatom will be located in Hall G.
