AISI 1018 Carbon Steel With Electroless Nickel Plating Precision CNC Turning Threaded Connector

This precision CNC machined threaded connector is purpose-engineered for medical device and healthcare equipment applications requiring robust mechanical strength, precise thread engagement, reliable fluid or gas sealing, and a chemically resistant surface finish.

Manufactured from AISI 1018 low-carbon steel, the material provides excellent machinability, good toughness, and consistent mechanical properties—delivering a cost-effective structural foundation for complex threaded medical connector components.

Integrated Design Features:

• Large-diameter precision external thread body for secure in-line pipeline or manifold connection
• Smooth cylindrical mid-section collar providing a positive sealing shoulder and wrench clearance zone
• Hexagonal upper head with central axial threaded port for multi-directional connection capability
• Enables pressure monitoring, sensor integration, or auxiliary line attachment within medical fluid management and gas delivery systems

Electroless Nickel Plating Finish:

Each component receives an electroless nickel plating finish through a chemical autocatalytic deposition process that applies a uniform, pinhole-free nickel-phosphorus alloy coating of precisely controlled thickness across all surfaces, including internal bores and recessed thread roots.

Surface Treatment Benefits:

• Outstanding corrosion resistance
• Enhanced surface hardness of approximately HRC 48-52
• Excellent wear resistance
• Chemically inert, biocompatible surface meeting ISO 10993 medical device material requirements
• Reliable barrier protecting the carbon steel substrate from oxidation and fluid exposure
