Metals Integration
TURNKEY CAPABILITIES
The attributes of the metal parts in the assembly must be understood in order to optimize the overall device performance.
SMC engineers are experienced in the properties of metals and are ready to assist you in realizing practical and cost-effective solutions for your plastic/metal products. The metal part may be a cannula, wire, pin, plate, bushing, spring, or metal injection molded part. It will very likely be made in one of the many available grades of stainless steel, or Nitinol. We understand the mechanical properties and machining options for these metals as well as what treatments, such as heat treatment, electro-polishing, or passivation, may be needed in order to achieve the required functionality of the device.
