Industry knowledge:
Is titanium screw magnetic?
In fact, it needs to be discussed on a case by case basis. If the screw is made of pure titanium, then the titanium screw is not magnetic, because titanium is a non-magnetic metal, and the raw material of titanium has a brand. Ta0-ta3 is basically non-magnetic.
However, the situation of titanium alloy will be more complex, most of titanium alloys are not magnetic; But a small part of titanium alloy due to the addition of magnetic metal elements, such as iron, chromium, nickel, and produce magnetism, such as some types of titanium nickel alloy.
Because titanium is non-magnetic and will not be magnetized in a large magnetic field, and titanium has good biocompatibility, the main applications of titanium screws in the field of medical and health care are intramedullary nails, dental implants and other medical auxiliary treatment devices, as well as physical therapy equipment that contacts more with human body.
