ASTM F2886-10 - 1.12.2010
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for metal injection molded (MIM) cobalt-28chromium-6molybdenum components to be used in the manufacture of surgical implants

1.2 The MIM components covered by this specification may have been densified beyond their as-sintered density by post-sinter processing.

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
