Standard Test Method for Corrosion of Surgical Instruments

Importancia y uso:

3.1 This test method provides corrosion test methodologies and means of evaluation that serve as indicators of proper material selection and proper processing by the manufacturer.

Note 1: It is recommended that instruments be chemically passivated according to one of the treatments in Specification A967/A967M, electropolished according to Specification B912, or both, prior to evaluating the corrosion resistance according to this test method. The likelihood of failure may be higher for non-passivated instruments.
