ASTM F2066/F2066M-13 PDF

Full title and description

Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium‑15 Molybdenum Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R58150). This designation (F2066/F2066M‑13) specifies the required chemical, mechanical and metallurgical properties for wrought Ti‑15Mo intended for use in surgical and orthopaedic implant components, and provides unit conventions for SI and inch‑pound values.

Abstract

This 2013 specification sets compositional limits, mechanical property requirements (tension and bend), heat/lot analysis, metallurgical conditions (material furnished in an annealed condition), and product classifications (strip, sheet, plate, bar, wire) for wrought titanium‑15 molybdenum used in surgical implants. It establishes testing and acceptance criteria appropriate for medical‑device production and quality control.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded (historical edition — later amended and replaced by subsequent F2066 revisions).
• Publication date: October 1, 2013 (designation year 2013).
• Publisher: ASTM International (Committee F04 — Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices).
• ICS / categories: 11.040.30 — Surgical instruments and materials / Medical and surgical materials and devices.
• Edition / version: F2066/F2066M‑13 (often cited together as the SI/inch‑pound dual‑unit designation).
• Number of pages: 6 pages (short technical specification).

Scope

The specification covers chemical composition limits, required mechanical properties, metallurgical condition (material furnished in the appropriate annealed condition), product forms (strip, sheet, plate, bar, wire), and required tests including heat/chemical analysis, tension testing, and bend testing. Values are given in SI or inch‑pound units (each system to be used independently). This edition applied to wrought Ti‑15Mo intended for surgical implant manufacture.

Key topics and requirements

• Chemical composition and heat analysis limits for UNS R58150 (Ti‑15Mo) alloy.
• Mechanical property requirements including tension (E8/E8M referenced test methods) and bend testing for ductility/acceptance.
• Metallurgical condition and microstructure requirements (material furnished in specified annealed condition — beta/final heat treatment as stated).
• Product classification and permitted product forms: strip, sheet, plate, bar, wire.
• Unit conventions and dual‑unit presentation — SI and inch‑pound values treated separately.
• Referenced test methods and related aerospace/industry specs for analysis and inspection (multiple ASTM and AMS references cited within the specification).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of orthopaedic and surgical implants, materials/metallurgy engineers, quality and regulatory personnel in medical device firms, test laboratories performing mechanical and chemical analysis of titanium alloys, and procurement specialists specifying implant materials for design and production. The standard was used as a procurement and acceptance document for wrought Ti‑15Mo implant stock.

Related standards

The specification references and relates to other ASTM test methods and industry material specifications (for example ASTM E series tension/bend/grain size tests and multiple AMS material/inspection specifications referenced in the standard). Later revisions and corrigenda (F2066‑13e1, F2066‑18, and more recent F2066‑23) supersede or update the 2013 text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers composition limits, product forms (strip, sheet, plate, bar, wire), required heat analysis, mechanical property tests (tension and bend), metallurgical condition requirements, and unit presentation rules (SI and inch‑pound values treated independently).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Medical device manufacturers, metallurgists, material procurement and quality/regulatory teams, and test laboratories involved with implant material qualification and acceptance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The F2066/F2066M‑13 edition is historical and has been amended and superseded in subsequent revisions (e.g., F2066‑13e1, later F2066‑18, and the F2066‑23 revision). Users should refer to the latest ASTM F2066 edition for current requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — F2066 is a continually revised ASTM specification series under Committee F04 (Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices), with versions identified by year (for example F2066‑07, ‑08, ‑11, ‑13, ‑18, and later revisions such as F2066‑23). Corrections and editorial revisions have been issued as needed.
