37、 powder; porous coatings; titanium/titanium alloys (forsurgical implants)APPENDIXES(Nonmandatory Information)X1. RATIONALEX1.1 Coatings formed from metallic powders have becomewidely used as a means of improving tissue attachment touncemented orthopedic joint prosthesis. Such coatings havealso been

38、 demonstrated to improve bonding of acrylic cementto prostheses.X1.2 The biocompatibility of metallic implants is a directfunction of their composition. The compositions of titaniumand titanium alloy powders allowed by this specification havebeen used in wrought form for surgical implants and are in

39、widespread commercial use for fabrication of porous coatings.X1.3 Chemical composition limits for oxygen, iron, carbon,and nitrogen in the unalloyed grade are taken from Specifica-tion F67, Grade 4. Limits for silicon, chlorine, hydrogen, andsodium are taken from Specification B299, Grade SL.X1.4 Ch

40、emical composition limits for aluminum,vanadium, oxygen, iron, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in theTi-6Al-4V grade are taken from Specification F1472. Limitsfor copper and tin are taken from AMS 4998.X1.5 Product analysis tolerances are taken directly fromAMS 2249. No recognized product analysis to

41、lerances cur-rently exist specifically for chlorine or sodium in titaniumalloys.X1.6 Processing aids are frequently used to facilitate pow-der processing and application of porous coatings to implantsurfaces. It is beyond the scope of this specification to identifysuitable processing aids or define

42、their use. It is the responsi-bility of the implant manufacturer to ensure that any processingaid or residue of a processing aid has no detrimental effect onbiocompatibility or coating properties.X1.7 It should be recognized that the heat treatments used toform porous coatings can create microstruct

43、ures that aresubstantially different from wrought titanium alloys. Porouscoated implants also exhibit much greater surface area thanmonolithic implants. For these reasons, the biocompatibilityand corrosion behavior must be characterized on finishedcoatings.X1.8 Likewise, these heat treatments can cr

44、eate microstruc-tures that give substantially different corrosion fatigue behaviorfrom that of typical wrought titanium alloys. Corrosion fatiguebehavior must be evaluated on finished coated substrates.X1.9 Pore size and morphology are important factors influ-encing tissue ingrowth and acrylic penet

45、ration of porouscoatings. Particle size, size distribution, and shape are criticalto controlling the pore size and morphology in the finalcoating. Particle size and size distribution are conventionallycontrolled by screening. The referenced ASTM Internationalstandards allow comparison of powder to a

46、 manufacturersspecifications for a given coating process. A number ofmethods to characterize particle shape exists. The coatingmanufacturer should select a means of particle shape charac-terization suitable for this process.X1.10 This specification requires sampling for particle sizeand powder clean

47、liness on each powder lot. In some cases,sampling on each shipping container of powder may beappropriate.F1580 183X1.11 Other process parameters are also critical to deter-mining final pore size and morphology in the final coating.Because these parameters are not directly related to thechemical and

48、physical characteristics of the starting powder,they are not addressed in this specification.X1.12 The requirements for powder cleanliness ensure free-dom from contaminants that might adversely affect either thebiocompatibility or the finished coatings or the ability to bondthe coating properly duri

49、ng manufacturing. The method in 8.2(Practices B215) is commonly used for relatively coarsespherical powders used to fabricate sintered porous coatings.Other types of powders may require different methods forcleanliness characterization. The development and implemen-tation of such methods are the responsibility of the implantmanufacturer.X2. BIOCOMPATIBILITYX2.1 The alloy composition covered by this specificationhas a long history of successful clinical application in softtissue and bone implants in humans, with a well-characterizedlevel of biological response.X2.2 No
