Demands on metals intended for the manufacture of medical instruments call for the use of corrosion-resisting grades of steel with high strength characteristics. Grades of steel of the martensite class reinforced by age hardening (martensive-aging) and mild grades of steel (chrome-manganese and chrome-nickel) have a number of valuable advantages over the steel of other classes. The possibility of obtaining high strength with low carbon dontent ensures great plasticity, toughness and brittle failure resistance along with corrosion-resistance and the possibility of achieving a substantial simplification in technology of making the instruments. Investigations of martensite-aging grades of steel--ep832,ochX11H9M2d2Tyu, O3X11HMd2yu and O3X13g3Md2 demostrated them to hold good promise for the manufacture of surgical and atraumatic needles, and rod-type stomatological instruments.
对用于制造医疗器械的金属的要求促使人们使用具有高强度特性的耐腐蚀钢种。通过时效硬化强化的马氏体类钢种（马氏体时效钢）以及低碳钢种（铬锰钢和铬镍钢）相对于其他类别的钢具有许多宝贵的优势。在低碳含量下获得高强度的可能性确保了良好的可塑性、韧性和抗脆性断裂能力，同时具备耐腐蚀性，并有可能大幅简化器械制造工艺。对马氏体时效钢种——ep832、ochX11H9M2d2Tyu、O3X11HMd2yu和O3X13g3Md2的研究表明，它们在制造外科手术针和无创伤针以及棒型口腔器械方面具有良好的前景。
