Dental Implant Titanium Core Rod

Dental implants are small. High precision. High stress. A failed implant means surgery to remove it.

Dental implant titanium core rod is the starting material for implant fixtures. Abutments. Healing caps. Screws.

The rod becomes the part that goes into someone's jaw. It needs to be clean. Strong. Biocompatible. Traceable to the melt.

Not every dental implant needs the same material.

• Grade 23 ELI (Ti-6Al-4V). High strength. 860 MPa tensile. Used for implant fixtures that hold the crown. Load-bearing. Small diameter. Needs strength.
• Grade 4 pure titanium. Lower strength. 550 MPa tensile. More ductile. Used for abutments, healing caps, and screws where strength is less critical. Softer on opposing teeth.

For dental implant titanium core rod, most buyers choose Grade 23 ELI for the fixture itself. Grade 4 for the rest.

A dental lab or implant manufacturer takes dental implant titanium core rod and machines it into:

• Implant fixture. The threaded part that goes into the jawbone. High precision. High strength. Grade 23 ELI.
• Abutment. Connects fixture to crown. Grade 4 or Grade 23 ELI.
• Healing cap. Protects the implant during healing. Soft tissue contact. Grade 4.
• Base abutment screw. Small diameter. High strength. Grade 23 ELI.
• Transfer coping. Used for impressions. Not load-bearing. Grade 4.
• Each part has different strength requirements. The rod diameter changes with the part size.

Dental implants are tiny. A scratch that's invisible on a large rod is a crack on a 2mm rod.

Polished surface. Ra ≤ 0.1μm. Mirror finish. Required for implant fixtures. Tissue contact. Bacteria don't stick as well to smooth surfaces.

Ground surface. Ra ≤ 0.4μm. For internal parts. Abutment screws. Transfer copings.

For dental implant titanium core rod, we supply polished as default for diameters under 4mm. Ground is fine for larger diameters or non-tissue-contact parts.

Dental implants are machined to micron tolerances. The starting rod has to be precise.

Diameter tolerance for dental implant titanium core rod:

Polished rod: ±0.01mm. Ground rod: ±0.02mm. Straightness: 0.2mm per 1000mm.

We measure every lot. Provide the data.

Common diameters for dental implants:

1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.0mm, 2.2mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm.

Dental implants are medical devices. Regulated. Audited.

Every spool of dental implant titanium core rod has a heat number. The heat number traces to the original melt. Chemistry. Mechanicals. Processing.

We keep samples from every heat. If your notified body asks, we have the backup.

Certifications we provide:

Mill test reports. ASTM F136 or F67 cert. Surface finish report. Dimensional inspection report. EN 10204 3.1 standard. 3.2 with third-party inspection.

Dental implant machining is precise. Small parts. Small tools. High speeds.

Titanium doesn't like high speeds. Use carbide micro-tools. Coolant through the tool if possible. Clear chips. Don't recut.

For dental implant titanium core rod, our polished surface reduces tool wear. Fewer burrs. Better surface on the finished part.

Common secondary operations: Threading. Grooving. Drilling. All work fine on our rod.

After machining, dental implants need passivation. ASTM F86.

Passivation removes free iron from the surface. Restores the natural oxide layer. Improves corrosion resistance.

For dental implant titanium core rod, we don't passivate the rod. You passivate after machining your part. We provide clean, oxide-free rod. You do the final finish.

Dental implants go into people. They need to be safe. Strong. Clean.

Dental implant titanium core rod gives you the material. Grade 23 ELI for fixtures. Grade 4 for abutments and healing caps.

Polished surface. Tight tolerance. Full traceability.
