This specification covers the chemical composition and mechanical requirements for 35cobalt-35nickel-20chromium-10molybdenum alloy (UNS R30035) forgings for use in surgical implants. The material covered here shall be in the form of bars, plates, sheets, or wires manufactured in the solution-annealed condition with a finish suitable for forging by hammering, pressing, rolling, extruding, or upsetting.

1.1 This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for 35cobalt-35nickel-20chromium-10molybdenum alloy (UNS R30035) in the form of forgings, used for the manufacture of surgical implants.

1.2 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
