By combining advanced metallurgical expertise with rigorous quality standards, we provide the medical sector with durable, biocompatible, and high-performance casting solutions.

Why Investment Casting for Medical Applications?

The medical industry demands intricate geometries and superior surface finishes that traditional machining often cannot achieve cost-effectively. Investment casting offers:

  • Complex Geometries: Ability to cast intricate shapes like femoral stems and tibial trays with minimal finishing.

  • Material Integrity: Exceptional grain structure and mechanical properties essential for long-term implantation.

  • Surface Excellence: Superior "as-cast" surface finish, reducing the time required for secondary polishing or coating.

  • Cost Efficiency: Significant reduction in material waste compared to subtractive manufacturing.

Our Specialization: Orthopedic Implants

iCast Alloys LLP is a trusted partner for the production of orthopedic components. We utilize medical-grade alloys to ensure biocompatibility and fatigue resistance.

1. Hip Reconstruction

We produce high-strength femoral stems and acetabular cups designed to withstand the cyclic loading of human movement.

2. Knee Replacement Systems

Our facility casts precision tibial trays and femoral components with the dimensional accuracy required for perfect joint articulation.

3. Spinal & Trauma Fixation

We manufacture bone plates, spinal cages, and screws that require micro-level precision and absolute structural reliability.

High-Performance Medical Alloys

Material selection is the cornerstone of medical casting. We work with a variety of biocompatible materials tailored to specific clinical needs:

Alloy Category Key Benefits Common Applications
Cobalt-Chrome (CoCr) High wear resistance & biocompatibility Knee and hip joints, dental implants
Stainless Steel (316LVM) Excellent corrosion resistance Trauma plates, surgical tools
Titanium Alloys High strength-to-weight ratio, osteointegration Spinal implants, dental roots
Specialty Superalloys Heat and wear resistance Specialized surgical instrumentation

Quality Assurance & Compliance

At iCast Alloys LLP, quality is not just a department—it is our core philosophy. Our medical castings undergo a rigorous validation process:

  • Spectrographic Analysis: To ensure exact chemical composition of every melt.

  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Including X-ray and Dye Penetrant testing to ensure zero internal defects.

  • Dimensional Inspection: Utilizing CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) for micron-level accuracy.

  • Surface Profiling: Ensuring roughness averages (Ra) meet surgical standards.
