ASTM F86-13 Standard Practice for Surface Preparation and Marking of Metallic Surgical Implants

The surface treatments documented in this standard are aimed at improving the corrosion resistance of metallic surgical implants made from iron, cobalt, titanium and tantalum-based materials.

ASTM F86-13 Standard Practice for Surface Preparation and Marking of Metallic Surgical Implants

Iron particles, ceramic media, and other foreign particles can be smeared or embedded on the surface of implants during processing operations such as shaping, machining, rolling, bead blasting, and the like. These particles must be removed to minimize local rust formation and surface defects.

The various chemical and electrochemical surface treatments specified in this standard aim to remove objectionable surface contaminants and restore maximum corrosion resistance to the passive oxide film.
