RATIONALEX1.1 The purpose of this specification is to characterize thechemical, physical, thermomechanical and metallurgical prop-erties of wrought nominally 54.5 to 57.0 % nickel-titaniumalloys to be used in the manufacture of medical devices andsurgical implants.
43、X1.2 The purchasers choice of shape memory alloytransformation temperature and mechanical properties is de-pendent upon the design and application of the medical device.X1.3 Thermo-mechanical process history, particularly coldwork and heat treatment, affects the transformation tempera-ture and other
44、 physical and mechanical properties of nickel-titanium shape memory alloys. The annealed condition stipu-lated in Sections 8.4 and 10.1 are for the test samples only.Finished product is normally purchased in the cold worked orcold worked and heat treated condition.X1.4 Ingot chemical analysis can be
45、 affected by subsequentthermo-mechanical and chemical processing. For example,pickling can result in hydrogen pick up. Therefore, hydrogen isspecified for the finished mill product (see Section 7.2).X1.5 The nickel-titanium alloys covered by this standardare commonly called nitinol alloys. Nitinol i
