July 22, 2011
The Technical Committee for Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices of ASTM International has issued a new ASTM Standard F2885-11 ‘Standard Specification for Metal injection moulded titanium-6 aluminium-4 vanadium components for surgical implant applications’.
The specification covers the chemical, mechanical and metallurgical requirements for two types of MIM Ti
alloy components, Type 1 being MIM components covered by the specification which may have been densified beyond their as-sintered density by post-sinter processing.
