To prevent toxic contaminants within the products, corrosion resistance in these industries is of utmost importance, for the sake of human health and hygiene.
Whilst 316L stainless steel is a common choice for its characteristic corrosion resistance, it has poor wear resistance in aggressive environments, which is a potential cause for a source of contamination.
Thus, for optimal health safety in products of pharmaceutics, cosmetics and foods, titanium alloy is the premier choice of material with both high wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
