ASTM F1580-12 Standard Specification for Titanium and Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium Alloy Powders for Coatings of Surgical Implants

This specification covers the chemical, particle size and cleanliness requirements of unalloyed titanium and titanium-6aluminum-4vanadium alloy powders for use as coatings formed by sintering or thermal spraying techniques on titanium alloy surgical implants. Powders can be produced by plasma rotating electrode, inert gas atomization, or the hydride-dehydride process, or any other method capable of producing powder that meets the requirements of this specification. This specification only addresses powder requirements, not the properties of coatings consisting of them.

This specification covers the requirements for unalloyed titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy powders for use in the manufacture of coatings on titanium alloy implants. Powders within this specification can be used to form coatings by sintering or thermal spraying techniques.

This specification covers powder requirements only. It does not address the properties of coatings consisting of them. Finely divided titanium powder can be considered pyrophoric and should be used in accordance with appropriate guidelines.

Values ​​stated in inch-pound units should be considered standard. Values ​​in parentheses are mathematical conversions to non-standard SI units, provided for informational purposes only.
