General Information

Overview
ISO 5832-7:2024 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies requirements for forgeable and cold-formed cobalt-chromium-nickel-molybdenum-iron alloy used in surgical implants. This fourth edition replaces the previous 2016 version and harmonizes with the ISO 5832 series, providing updated mechanical testing language and expanded technical details.
This standard defines the chemical composition, microstructure, mechanical properties, and corresponding test methods critical for ensuring the biocompatibility, performance, and safety of metallic materials used in implant manufacturing. It focuses on raw alloy material, not finished medical devices, recognizing that device design and fabrication can further influence biological response.
Key Topics
Chemical Composition: Specifies the precise mass fraction limits for essential elements in the alloy, including cobalt (39.0–42.0%), chromium (18.5–21.5%), nickel (14.0–18.0%), molybdenum (6.5–8.0%), manganese (1.0–2.5%), silicon (up to 1.0%), carbon (max 0.15%), phosphorus (max 0.015%), sulfur (max 0.015%), beryllium (max 0.001%), and balanced iron.
Microstructure:
- Grain size must be uniform and no coarser than grain size No. 5 as defined by ISO 643.
- Non-metallic inclusion content is limited, ensuring minimal sulfides, aluminates, silicates, and oxides as per ISO 4967, promoting alloy purity and implant longevity.
Mechanical Properties:
- Defined minimum tensile strength, proof/yield strength, and elongation based on alloy condition: annealed, hot-worked, cold-worked, or spring temper.
- Example: Annealed alloy must exhibit tensile strength ≥ 950 MPa, yield strength ≥ 450 MPa, and elongation ≥ 65%.
- Specific mechanical property requirements ensure durability and reliability under physiological stresses.
Test Methods:
- Chemical composition analyzed following recognized analytical procedures.
- Microstructure and inclusion content assessed by ISO 643 and ISO 4967, respectively.
- Mechanical properties tested per ISO 6892-1 at room temperature.
- Retest protocols outlined for non-conforming samples to maintain quality control.
Applications
ISO 5832-7:2024 is essential for manufacturers and suppliers involved in producing metallic surgical implants, particularly those requiring biocompatible cobalt-chromium-nickel-molybdenum-iron alloys that can be forged or cold-formed. Typical applications include:
- Orthopedic implants such as joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder)
- Dental implants requiring high strength and corrosion resistance
- Cardiovascular devices like stents and heart valve components
- Other load-bearing implant components where mechanical reliability and biocompatibility are critical
By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can ensure that implant materials meet stringent international safety and performance criteria, contributing to improved patient outcomes and device longevity.
Related Standards
ISO 5832-7:2024 is part of the broader ISO 5832 series addressing metallic materials for surgical implants. Related standards include:
- ISO 5832-1: Wrought stainless steel for surgical implants
- ISO 5832-2: Nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy for surgical implants
- ISO 5832-3: Wrought cobalt-chromium alloy
- ISO 4833: Micrographic determination of grain size in steels (complements ISO 643 used in ISO 5832-7)
- ISO 4967: Method for determining non-metallic inclusion content in steels
- ISO 6892-1: Room temperature tensile testing of metallic materials
These complementary standards provide a comprehensive framework for material characterization, quality control, and testing methodologies applicable across various implant alloys and medical device manufacturing processes.
