ISO 5832-3: Implants for surgery – Metallic materials – Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminium 4-vanadium alloy

This standard specifies the chemical composition, microstructure and mechanical properties (tensile and bending) of the widely used Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. Tolerances for the individual chemical elements as well as for the mechanical properties are provided. The test methods for microstructure (ISO 20160, EN 3114-003) and the mechanical properties (ISO 6892-1, ISO 7437) are referenced.

EndoLab® does provide our valued customers with the complete analysis as given by the standard.
