Abstract
A medical device and a method and process for at least partially forming a medical device, which medical device has improved physical properties.
Claims18
A method for forming a medical device comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a metal alloy;
- said metal alloy including at least about 55 wt. % of a solid solution of rhenium and molybdenum alloy;
- said metal alloy including at least about 20 wt. % rhenium and at least about 20 wt. % molybdenum;
- said metal alloy including about 0.01-35 wt. % of an additional metal additive;
- said additional metal additive includes i) one or more metals selected from the group consisting of hafnium and technetium, and further includes one or more of niobium, tantalum, titanium, zirconium, and chromium, or ii) two or more different metals selected from the group consisting of hafnium, osmium, technetium, vanadium, and titanium, further includes one or more of niobium, tantalum, zirconium, and chromium;
- and
- b) forming said metal alloy so as to form at least a portion of said medical device.
