Scientists at the department of metallurgical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) have been successful in their attempts at producing nickel-free surgical grade stainless steel, as per latest reports. The metal is much cheaper and safer than stainless steel containing nickel, which is a harmful element that could get dissolved in the human body. The lightweight metal is ideal for use in production of stents, pacemakers and valves, scientists informed.
