Description Of F136 Titanium O Ring Ball
F136 Titanium O Ring Ball is a precision-made body piercing jewelry component manufactured from implant-grade Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) titanium alloy, also known as Grade 23 or UNS R56401. This material is specified by ASTM F136, the standard specification for wrought titanium-6aluminum-4vanadium ELI alloy for surgical implant applications. It is widely used in medical implants and body piercing jewelry due to its outstanding biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength.
The O Ring Ball consists of a titanium ball with a precision-machined groove that holds a medical-grade O-ring. The O-ring creates a secure friction fit when the ball is inserted into a piercing shaft or labret, eliminating the need for threads. This design reduces thread wear, minimizes bacterial traps, and allows for quick and easy jewelry changes. The ball is precision CNC-machined from ASTM F136 titanium bar and polished to a mirror-like finish (Ra ≤0.2μm). The O-ring is available in medical-grade silicone, nitrile, or EPDM, and can be autoclaved for repeated sterilization. Anodized colors are available without dyes or coatings.
Because the material is nickel-free and biocompatible, F136 titanium O ring balls are suitable for sensitive skin, new piercings, and long-term wear. They resist corrosion from body fluids and can be autoclaved for repeated sterilization. Custom sizes, colors, O-ring materials, and packaging are available upon request.
