MEANS FOR PREDICTING PERFORMANCE OF STAINLESS STEEL ALLOY FOR USE WITH SURGICAL NEEDLES

STAINLESS STEEL ALLOY WITH IMPROVED MARTENSITIC FINISH FOR USE WITH SURGICAL NEEDLES A new and useful predictor for maraging stainless steel alloys is created, called the martensite finish temperature, Mf (.degree.F). This formula enables one to predict the temperature at which a steel is entirely c...

Zusammenfassung:STAINLESS STEEL ALLOY WITH IMPROVED MARTENSITIC FINISH FOR USE WITH SURGICAL NEEDLES A new and useful predictor for maraging stainless steel alloys is created, called the martensite finish temperature, Mf (.degree.F). This formula enables one to predict the temperature at which a steel is entirely converted to martensite, and is described as Mf = 1027 - 78% Ni - 27% Ti - 34% Mo. A desirable needle alloy for this amount is nickel at 10%, molybdenum at about 2.7%, and titanium at about 2%.
