Implantable Interconnects
Challenge of Application:
Implantable devices often require connections between dissimilar metals. For cardiac and neural implants, the robust interconnects between Titanium-based power sources and Niobium lead wires create laser welding challenges.
Materion Solution:
Bimetal components fabricated using TECHNICAL MATERIALS’ electron beam weld and inlay cladding processes simplify and improve welding reliability in OEM device assembly by eliminating dissimilar metal welding.
