Application fields of special alloys in the pharmaceutical industry:

Although Chinese pharmaceutical equipment products have developed for many years and their applications have become quite mature, the equipment management and procurement personnel of pharmaceutical companies are still in a vague state of concept regarding the selection of pharmaceutical equipment materials, especially the selection of metal materials is even more confusing. The misconception is that choosing 316L material is in compliance with GMP

There is a certain accumulation of relevant personnel in China and even abroad. Although the author has written articles of this kind and people have improved their views on it, there are still some industry professionals who are addicted to it. This is a misinterpretation of GMP, and it is also contradictory to what GMP contains.

In the GMP transformation of the pharmaceutical industry, a large amount of stainless steel materials are used, including pipes, valves, instruments, and even operating platforms. According to relevant data analysis, its value can account for about one-third of the total investment in GMP renovation of fixed assets. Almost all links where stainless steel can be used have used it as much as possible. Stainless steel is an ideal material due to its excellent corrosion resistance, hygiene, and surface processing that can achieve high precision (matte or even mirror). It has the advantages of smoothness, aesthetics, easy cleaning, sterilization, and disinfection. However, stainless steel also has certain limitations in its use. Due to some technical personnel's insufficient understanding of related issues, industrial accidents are not uncommon.

Commonly used in centrifuges, reactors, medical devices, medical props, etc. in pharmaceutical factories.

Commonly used special alloy materials in the pharmaceutical industry:

Stainless steel: 316LN, 904L, 15-5PH, 2205, S31803, etc
