Standard Specification for Wrought Cobalt-20Chromium-15Tungsten-10Nickel Alloy Surgical Fixation Wire (UNS R30605)
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers the requirements for the manufacture of wrought cobalt-20chromium-15tungsten-10nickel surgical fixation wire. The starting material, dimensions, and tolerances shall conform to the requirements specified. The surgical fixation wire is usually furnished in the bright-annealed condition. Mechanical properties of the surgical fixation wire such as tensile strength and elongation shall be determined.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for the manufacture of wrought cobalt-20chromium-15tungsten-10nickel surgical fixation wire.
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. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
