Both in the USSR and abroad similar types of martensitic and austenitic stainless steel are used for the manufacture of medical instruments. Martensitic steel, the cheapest and most economically alloyed, has the best combination of properties necessary for medical instruments. The analysis of the Soviet and foreign experience in using different grades of steel for the production of medical instruments demonstrates the expediency and possibility of improving the quality of martensitic steel and rolled stock, as well as that of medical instruments manufactured from these materials, by improving, the operations of the metallurgical and technological processes and by specifying more precisely the requirements for medical instruments. The possibility and expediency of using, in some technically justified cases, lower grades of alloyed steel instead of grade 12X18H9T for clamps and other instruments made of stainless steel, as well as highly corrosive grades of steel for microinstruments, have been established.
苏联和国外都使用类似类型的马氏体和奥氏体不锈钢来制造医疗器械。马氏体钢是最便宜且合金化程度最经济的，具备医疗器械所需性能的最佳组合。对苏联和国外使用不同等级钢材生产医疗器械的经验分析表明，通过改进冶金和工艺流程操作以及更精确地规定医疗器械的要求，提高马氏体钢及轧材质量以及用这些材料制造的医疗器械质量是可行且合理的。已确定在某些技术上合理的情况下，使用等级较低的合金钢代替12X18H9T钢来制造不锈钢夹具及其他器械，以及使用高腐蚀性等级的钢材来制造微型器械的可能性和合理性。
