Abstract
This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought titanium-12 molybdenum- 6 zirconium-2 iron alloy for surgical implants to be used in the manufacture of surgical implants. The heat analysis shall conform to the chemical composition requirements prescribed. Ingot analysis may be used for reporting all chemical requirements, except hydrogen. The wrought titanium-12 molybdenum-6 zirconium-2 iron alloy are classified as bar, forging bar and wire. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and area reduction of the material shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed.
