1、Designation: F 629 02Standard Practice forRadiography of Cast Metallic Surgical Implants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 629; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number

Significance and Use4.1 The requirements expressed in this practice are intendedto control the quality of the radiographic image of cast metallicsu

6、rgical implants and related weldments.5. Radiographic Methods5.1 The radiographic method shall be agreed upon betweenthe purchaser and supplier but should be in accordance withTest Method E 1030.5.1.1 Acceptance criteria should be derived from the refer-ence radiographs presented in Reference Radiog

7、raphs E 192.5.2 Radiography of cobalt- or iron-base surgical implantcastings may create film images resulting from grain diffrac-tion. Radiographic techniques shall be utilized to ensuredifferentiation between these images and actual indications.5.2.1 Generally, cobalt- or iron-base surgical implant

8、 cast-ings require radiation intensities higher than normal, facilitat-ing reduced exposure times.5.2.1.1 Energies between 250 and 400 kV may be requiredto radiograph surgical implants with a12-in. (12.7-mm) mate-rial thickness.5.2.2 In some instances, filters, at the tube head, andrelatively thick

9、lead intensifying screens may reduce graindiffraction while sustaining adequate radiographic sensitivity.5.2.3 Multiple radiographic exposures in which the implantis rotated between 5 and 180, relative to the film, may helpreduce grain diffraction. Additionally, multiple radiographicexposures in whi

10、ch the radiographic film is moved relative tothe central ray of radiation also helps to change the diffractionpattern.5.3 Radiography of titanium-base surgical implant castingsmay create a general mottled image, however standard low-energy radiation should produce acceptable sensitivity.6. Sensitivi

11、ty Requirements6.1 Sensitivity of surgical implant castings shall be 2-2T,with the 2T hole clearly discernible, in the area of interest.7. Metallurgical Requirements7.1 In the absence of cast metallic implant standards at thistime, the following requirements are suggested:7.1.1 The product acceptanc

12、e and rejection criteria shall beas agreed upon between the purchaser and supplier; however,indications which are linear in nature, generally, are unaccept-able.7.1.2 The mutually agreed upon acceptance or rejectionlimits shall employ ASTM reference radiographs or otherradiographs, and where feasibl

13、e, shall identify discontinuity ofsize and type levels.8. Personnel Certification8.1 The personnel performing radiography under this prac-tice shall be certified in accordance with SNT-TC-1A, orrecognized national equivalent.8.1.1 The personnel performing radiographic interpretationshall be certifie

14、d Level II or Level III individuals, or equiva-lent, in accordance with SNT-TC-1A or equivalent.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F04 on Medical andSurgical Materials and Devices and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeF04.12 on Metallurgical Materials.Current editio
