The ability to produce materials and components with tight dimensional specifications is critical in the medical industry. Precision-made molybdenum and tungsten metal parts are used, for example, in the shielding and collimation of X-rays or particle beams in modern cancer radiotherapy machines and computed tomography scanners.

In addition, H.C. Starck produces molybdenum raw materials and finished components per customer specifications for the rotating X-ray anodes. Stable, bio-inert tantalum is an especially ideal material for numerous applications within the human body.
Ceramic materials, due to their light weights, are increasingly replacing metals for implantations.
