An exemplary welding consumable according to the invention is provided and includes up to about 0.13 wt % carbon, about 0.3 wt % to about 1.4 wt % manganese, about 7.25 wt % to about 11.5 wt % nickel, about 0.6 wt % to about 1.2 wt % molybdenum, about 0.2 wt % to about 0.7 wt % silicon, up to about 0.3 wt % vanadium, up to about 0.05 wt % titanium, up to about 0.08 wt % zirconium, up to about 2.0 wt % chromium, and a balance of iron and incidental impurities.

High strength welding consumable based on a 10% nickel steel metallurgical system

Medical devices, such as endoprostheses, and methods of making the devices are disclosed. The endoprostheses comprise a tubular member capable of maintaining patency of a bodily vessel. The tubular member includes a mixture of at least two compositions, where the presence of the second composition gives the mixture a greater hardness than that of the first composition alone. The first composition includes less than about 25 weight percent chromium, less than about 7 weight percent molybdenum, from about 10 to about 35 weight percent nickel, and iron. The second composition is different from the first and is present from about 0.1 weight percent to about 5 weight percent of the mixture.
