The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought 18chromium-14nickel-2.5molybdenum stainless steel sheet and strip used for the manufacture of surgical implants. Sheet and strip shall be furnished as specified, in the annealed or cold-worked condition. Types of finish available in sheet and strip are dull cold rolled, bright cold rolled, intermediate polished, general-purpose polished, dull satin-finished, high luster finish, and mirror finish. Tensile test, hardness test, and intergranular corrosion susceptibility test shall be performed in accordance with specified requirements.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought 18chromium-14nickel-2.5molybdenum stainless steel sheet and strip used for the manufacture of surgical implants.
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.
