Abstract
This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought nitrogen strengthened 22chromium-13nickel-5manganese-2.5molybdenum stainless steel alloy bar and wire for surgical implants (UNS S20910). Materials shall be tested and shall conform to chemical requirements such as chemical composition, and product analysis; metallurgical requirements such as inclusion; and mechanical requirements such as dimension, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Brinell hardness.
This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought nitrogen strengthened 22 chromium – 13 nickel – 5 manganese – 2.5 molybdenum stainless steel alloy bar and wire for surgical implants.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) 
The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
