Elgiloy is a specially fabricated alloy used in wire forms and spring applications. Elgiloy is a patented cobalt-base alloy compounded of cobalt, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, beryllium, carbon and iron. It can be used as-is or heat-treated.
Elgiloy is used in orthopedic and medical devices because it is non-magnetic and does not interfere with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It has also been proven safe to use in contact with soft tissue and bone in long-term clinical experience.
Elgiloy Wire & Spring Properties
Automotive systems rely on thousands of engineered mechanical components working in precise coordination. Among the most critical—yet often overlooked—are springs and wire forms that control movement, maintain force, and ensure reliable mechanical function throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle.
In modern medical device manufacturing, every component must meet strict demands for precision, biocompatibility, and reliability. Among the often-unsung heroes behind life-saving instruments and implants are wire forms — intricately shaped pieces of metal wire that deliver functionality, structural integrity, and performance consistency.
In precision metal stamping, a part is either right—or it is rejected. There’s no middle ground when components have to fit, flex, and perform reliably in critical assemblies. That’s why quality control is at the center of every successful precision metal stamping process.
