16、.1.8 Special tests, if any, and5.1.9 Other requirements.6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 The various titanium mill products covered in thisspecification normally are formed with the conventional forg-ing and rolling equipment found in primary ferrous andnonferrous plants. The alloy is usually multipl
17、e melted in arcfurnaces (including furnaces such as plasma arc and electronbeam) of a type conventionally used for reactive metals.6.2 FinishThe mill product may be furnished to theimplant manufacturer as mechanically descaled or pickled,sandblasted, chemically milled, ground, machined, peeled,polis
18、hed, combinations of these operations, or as specified bythe purchaser.6.3 ConditionMaterial shall be furnished in the annealedor cold-worked condition.7. Chemical Requirements7.1 The heat analysis shall conform to the chemical com-position of Table 1. Ingot analysis may be used for reporting allche
19、mical requirements, except hydrogen. Samples for hydro-gen shall be taken from the finished mill product. Supplier shallnot ship material with chemistry outside the requirementsspecified in Table 1.7.1.1 Requirements for the major and minor elementalconstituents are listed in Table 1. Also listed ar
20、e importantresidual elements. Analysis for elements not listed in Table 1 isnot required to verify compliance with this specification.7.2 Product AnalysisProduct analysis tolerances do notbroaden the specified heat analysis requirements but covervariations between laboratories in the measurement of
21、chemi-cal content. The supplier shall not ship material that is outsidethe limits specified in Table 1. The product analysis tolerancesshall conform to the product tolerances in Table 2.7.2.1 The product analysis is either for the purpose ofverifying the composition of a heat or manufacturing lot or
22、 todetermine variations in the composition within the heat.7.2.2 Acceptance or rejection of a heat or manufacturing lotof material may be made by the purchaser on the basis of thisproduct analysis.7.2.3 For referee purposes, use Test Methods E 120, E 1409,and E 1447 or other analytical methods agree
23、d upon betweenthe purchaser and the supplier.7.3 Ensure that the samples for chemical analysis arerepresentative of the material being tested. The utmost caremust be used in sampling titanium for chemical analysisbecause of its affinity for elements such as oxygen, nitrogen,and hydrogen. In cutting
24、samples for analysis, therefore, theoperation should be carried out insofar as possible in adust-free atmosphere. Cutting tools should be clean and sharp.Samples for analysis should be stored in suitable containers.8. Mechanical Requirements8.1 The material supplied under this specification shallcon
25、form to the mechanical property requirements in Table 3.8.2 Specimens for tension tests shall be machined and testedin accordance with Test Methods E 8. Tensile properties shallbe determined using a strain rate of 0.003 to 0.007 in./in./min(mm/mm/min) through yield and then the crosshead speed maybe
26、 increased so as to produce fracture in approximately oneadditional minute.8.3 For sheet and strip, the bend test specimen shall with-stand being bent cold through an angle of 105 without fracturein the outside surface of the bent portion. The bend shall bemade around a mandrel which has a diameter
27、equal to thatshown in Table 3.8.4 Number of Tests:8.4.1 Bar, Forging Bar, Shapes, and WirePerform at leastone tension test from each lot. Should any of these testspecimens not meet the specified requirements, test two addi-tional test pieces representative of the same lot, in the samemanner, for eac
28、h failed test specimen. The lot will be consid-ered in compliance only if both additional test pieces meet thespecified requirements.8.4.2 Sheet, Strip, and PlatePerform at least one tensionand one bend test from each lot. Tension and bend propertyrequirements apply in both the longitudinal and tran
29、sversedirections. Tests in the transverse direction need be made onlyon product from which a specimen not less than 8.0 in. (200mm) in length for sheet and 2.50 in. (64 mm) in length for platecan be taken. Should any of these test specimens not meet thespecified requirements, test two additional tes

There shall be no coarse, elongated alphaplatelets.9.2 Determine the beta transus temperature for each heat bya suitable method and report on the material certification ifrequired by the purchaser.9.3 Alpha case is not per
35、mitted for products supplied with amachined, ground, or chemically milled surface finish. Forother products, there will be no continuous layer of alpha casewhen examined at 1003 magnification.10.

BIOCOMPATIBILITYX2.1 The alloy composition covered by this specificationhas been employed successfully in human implant applicationsin contact with soft tissue and bone for
46、 over a decade. Due tothe well-characterized level of biological response exhibited bythis alloy, it has been used as a control material in PracticeF 981.X2.2 No known surgical implant material has ever beenshown to be completely free from adverse reactions in thehuman body. Long-term clinical exper
47、ience of the use of thematerial referred to in this specification, however, has shownthat an acceptable level of biological response can be expected,if the material is used in appropriate applications.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee F04 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard si
