There are several industry standards that apply to titanium bars. Some of the most common ones include:
1. ASTM B348 - Standard Specification for Titanium and Titanium Alloy Bars and Billets: This specification covers annealed titanium and titanium alloy bars and billets in different grades.
2. ASTM F67 - Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium, for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R50250, UNS R50400, UNS R50550, UNS R50700): This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for unalloyed titanium bars and billets used in surgical implants.
3. ASTM F136 - Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401): This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought titanium-6aluminum-4vanadium ELI bars and billets used in surgical implants.
4. AMS 4928 - Titanium Alloy Bars, Wire, Forgings, Rings, and Drawn Shapes 6Al - 4V, Annealed: This specification covers a titanium alloy in the form of bars, wire, forgings, rings, and drawn shapes.
5.2-2 - Implants for surgery — Metallic materials — Part 2: Unalloyed titanium: This standard specifies the characteristics of, and corresponding test methods for, unalloyed titanium for use in the manufacture of surgical implants.
6. ISO 5832-3 - Implants for surgery — Metallic materials — Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminum 4-vanadium alloy: This standard specifies the characteristics of, and corresponding test methods for, wrought titanium 6-aluminum 4-vanadium alloy for use in the manufacture of surgical implants.
These standards ensure that titanium bars meet specific chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements and are suitable for their intended applications.
