Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-3Aluminum-2.5Vanadium Alloy Seamless Tubing for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56320)
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought and annealed or cold-worked and stress-relieved titanium-3aluminum-2.5vanadium alloy (UNS R56320) seamless tubing to be used in the manufacture of surgical implants. The mill product shall be furnished as descaled or pickled, abrasive blasted, chemically milled, ground, machined, peeled, or polished. Conditions for annealing, cold-working and stress relieving, and surface cleanliness are specified. Heat analysis shall conform to the chemical composition requirements prescribed for: nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, iron, oxygen, aluminum, vanadium, yttrium, and titanium. The material shall conform to the mechanical property requirements specified for: ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. Requirements for tension testing, microstructure, ultrasonic testing, and longitudinal and transverse notch machining are specified as well.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought and annealed or cold-worked and stress-relieved titanium-3aluminum-2.5vanadium alloy (UNS R56320) seamless tubing to be used in the manufacture of surgical implants. See Section 4 for size limitations.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
