Medical & Industrial

Both aluminium and zinc can support a range of precision instruments used for internal medicine, ensuring that doctors can concentrate entirely on their patients. Designer materials characterized by high mechanical strength, toughness, and rigidity, die-cast alloys provide high performance, long service lives, and a good cost-benefit ratio. 

Zinc & Aluminium are used in:

• Defibrillators 

• Blood pressure monitors 

• Stethoscopes 

• Bedside cabinets 

• Hospital beds 

• Infusion stands 

• Infusion pumps 

• Inhalers 

• Artificial respiration devices 

• Ionization units 

• Air purifiers 

• Portable oxygen supplies 

• Artificial feeding pumps 

• Seat lifts 

• Monitoring devices 

• Wheelchairs 

• Crutches, other aids 

• Height-adjustable toilet seats

Corrosion resistance is critical in the medical industry, where sanitation and cleanliness are necessary. Medical equipment is often exposed to bodily fluids, heavy-duty cleaners, and other corrosive liquids; aluminum's ability to withstand corrosion is a perfect match. Aluminum has a natural ability to form what is known as a passivation layer that protects aluminum even if it becomes nicked or scratched.

One way to ensure that medical equipment is biocompatible is to anodize the surface, that can helps to enhance aluminum's natural corrosion resistance.
