ASTM WK83979
New Guide for Corrosion Fatigue Evaluation of Absorbable Metals
1. Scope
This standard outlines an appropriate experimental approach for evaluating the effects of physiologically relevant constant- or cyclic loads (e.g. stresses, strains) on the performance characteristics of an absorbable metal device or test specimen.Keywords
absorbable; fatigue; corrosion; metal; degrade; resorbRationale
This work item is actually a renewal of an expired work item (WK61103). Corrosion fatigue is a key behavior to understand when designing absorbable metal implants, and this document will provide guidance on best practices.
