Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 modified working endworking surfaces possessingsuperior hardness characteristics which are either the result ofdepositing various materials on the base metal or the result ofpermanently securing an insert (such as by brazing) to the basemetal.3.1.2 Discussi
6、onThe typical method of modifying theworking end of the suture needle holder is to use jaw inserts orto plasma deposit (flame plate) materials with improved wearcharacteristics such as tungsten carbide or stellite (trade-marked). For the jaw insert method, the insert is brazed to thejaw face with a
7、uniform deposit of silver solder which is freeof crevices at all interfaces. For the flame plating method, auniform layer of material is deposited which is 0.004 6 0.001in. thick.3.2 Definitions applicable to stainless steel suture needleholders and the terms specified herein, shall be in accordance

Materials4.1 All component parts of the instrument other than themodified working end shall be fabricated from martensiticstainless steel type 410, 410X, 416, 420A, 420B, 420C, 420F,420F Mod, and 440B per Specification F899 (see Note 1). Themodified working end may be made o
9、f stellite (trademarked),tungsten carbide, or other suitable material.NOTE 1Free-machining grades of stainless steel are inappropriate foruse due to their lower corrosion resistance and toughness.5. Requirements5.1 Heat treatment and hardness for component parts.5.1.1 Stainless steel component parts
