Mechanical Requirements8.1 The mechanical properties of forgings shall be tested bythe forger and shall comply with the minimum mechanicalproperties as specified in Specifications F138, F1314, F1586,F2229,orF2581, as applicable.8.1.1 Te

25、st specimens shall be taken from a representativeforging if possible. A representative test bar may only be usedif the configuration is such that a test bar cannot be obtained.Any specially forged test bar shall be in the same condition asthe forgings it represents.8.2 When desired, hardness may be

26、specified on the pur-chase order or drawing and shall be determined in accordancewith Test Methods E10, E18,orE92.8.3 The mechanical properties shall be determined in accor-dance with Test Methods E8.8.4 Number of Tests:8.4.1 Perform at least one tension test from each lot in thelongitudinal directi

27、on, or as indicated on the part drawing.Should this test result not meet the specified requirements, testtwo additional test pieces representative of the same lot, in thesame manner, for each failed test piece. The lot shall beconsidered in compliance only if both additional test piecesmeet the spec

28、ified requirements.8.4.2 Tensile tests results for which any specimen fracturesoutside the gage length shall be considered acceptable if boththe elongation and reduction of area meet the minimumrequirements specified. Refer to Test Methods E8, sections7.11.4 and 7.12.5.8.4.2.1 If either the elongati

29、on or reduction of area is lessthan the minimum requirement, discard the test and retest.Retest one specimen for each specimen that did not meet theminimum requirements.9. Special Tests9.1 Corrosion TestsForgings furnished to this specifica-tion shall be capable of passing the test for intergranular

30、corrosion susceptibility in accordance with Practice E ofPractices A262.9.2 Grain SizeOn the cross section examined, the grainsize shall be predominately ASTM No. 4 or finer. No regionsexhibiting grain size larger than ASTM No. 3 shall be allowed.Test procedures shall be in accordance with Test Meth

31、odsE112.9.3 Fluorescent penetrant inspection shall be performed onforgings. Penetrant inspections shall be performed in accor-dance with Practices E165 or F601.9.4 Other special requirements shall be as specified by thepurchaser.10. Dimensions and Permissable Variations10.1 Units of Measure:10.1.1 S

32、electionThis specification requires that the pur-chaser selects the units (SI or inch-pound) to be used forproduct certification. In the absence of a stated selection ofF621 122units on the purchase order (PO), this selection may beexpressed by the purchaser in several alternate forms listed inorder

33、 of precedence.10.1.1.1 If the purchaser and supplier have a history ofusing specific units, these units shall continue to be certifieduntil expressly changed by the purchaser.10.1.1.2 In the absence of historic precedence, if the unitsused to define the product on the purchasers PO, specification,a

34、nd engineering drawing are consistent, these units shall beused by the supplier for product certification.10.1.1.3 If the purchasers selection of units is unclear, theunits of measure shall be agreed upon between the purchaserand supplier.10.1.2 Conversion of UnitsIf the suppliers test equipmentdoes

35、 not report in the selected units, the test equipment unitsmay be converted to the selected units for certification pur-poses. Accurate arithmetic conversion and proper use ofsignificant digits should be observed when performing thisconversion. IEEE/ASTM SI 10 provides guidelines for the useof SI un

36、its. Annex A of that standard provides conversiontables and Annex B provides rules for conversion and signifi-cance.11. Significance of Numerical Limits11.1 The following applies to all specified numerical limitsin this specification. To determine conformance to these limits,an observed or calculate

37、d value shall be rounded to the nearestunit in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the specifi-cation limit, in accordance with the rounding method ofPractice E29.12. Certification12.1 The supplier shall provide a certification that thematerial was tested in accordance with this specificati

38、on andmet all requirements. A report of the test results shall befurnished to the purchaser at the time of shipment.13. Quality Program Requirements13.1 The supplier shall maintain a quality program such asdefined in ISO 9001 or similar.14. Keywords14.1 forgingssurgical implants; metals (for surgica

RATIONALEX1.1 The purpose of this specification is to characterize thechemical, mechanical, and metallurgical properties of wroughtstainless steel forgings for surgical implants.X1.2 The microstru

40、ctural requirements contained in thisspecification represent the current general consensus withrespect to optimization of mechanical properties for implantapplications.X1.3 This specification has been expanded to cover forgingsof three specific alloys; each UNS designation has beenincluded for clari

41、fication. A Biocompatibility section has beenadded as an appendix.X1.4 ISO standards are listed for reference only. Althoughthe ISO standards listed in 2.2 are similar to the correspondingASTM standards, they may not be identical. Use of an ISOstandard in addition to or instead of a preferredASTM st

42、andardmay be negotiated between purchaser and supplier. In thisspecification, the composition of ISO 5832-1 is similar toASTM Specification F138 and the composition of ISO 5832-9is similar to ASTM Specification F1586.X1.5 Units of Measure:X1.5.1 ASTM PolicyASTM is promoting the use of ratio-nalized

43、SI (metric) units in their standards. The F12.04Committee has modified this specification to facilitate thetransition by the medical materials industry to SI between nowand 2018. In the first phase of this transition, running to 2013,the specifications will be structured to allow the use of either S

44、Ior inch-pound units. The choice of primary units in eachspecification will be determined by the industry using thespecification. The change to SI units during this period may beinitiated by the purchaser through his purchase documentation.In the second phase of this transition, the specifications s

45、hall bewritten with SI as the primary units. Harmonization withcorresponding ISO documents should be considered whenassigning the SI values.F621 123X2. BIOCOMPATIBILITYX2.1 The material compositions covered by this specifica-tion have been employed successfully in human implantapplications in contac

46、t with soft tissue and bone for over adecade.X2.2 No known surgical implant material has ever beenshown to be completely free of adverse reactions in the humanbody. However, long-term clinical experience has shown anacceptable level of biological response can be expected, ifthese materials are used

47、in appropriate applications.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee F04 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue (F621 08)that may impact the use of this standard.
