316LVM stainless steel is a high-purity austenitic stainless steel produced through vacuum melting processes. Compared with conventional 316L stainless steel, it offers lower inclusion levels, superior cleanliness, and excellent biocompatibility. These characteristics make 316LVM a preferred material for medical implants, surgical instruments, and precision engineering applications.
