Abstract

Disclosed is a manufacturing method of an iron-based alloy medical apparatus, comprising: nitriding the iron-based alloy preformed unit at 350-550° C. for 30-100 minutes; and ion etching the iron-based alloy preformed unit with an ion etching time of 80-110% of the nitriding time. Ion nitriding and ion etching can be performed in situ in the same equipment using this manufacture method with high production efficiency, and in the ion nitriding and ion etching process, nitrogen atoms continuously permeate the preformed unit, making the time it takes for the medical apparatus to be absorbed by the human body and both the hardness and strength of the instrument surface achieve requirements.

Claims (15)

1. A manufacturing method of an iron-based alloy medical apparatus, comprising:

nitriding an iron-based alloy preformed unit at 350-550° C. for 30-100 minutes; and

ion etching the iron-based alloy preformed unit with an ion etching time of 80-110% of the nitriding time;

wherein the method further comprises a step of soaking the preformed unit in a chemical polishing solution for about 5-10 seconds before the nitriding; and, by volume, the chemical polishing solution comprises 75-85 parts of hydrogen peroxide having a volume concentration of 30% and 3-7 parts of hydrofluoric acid having a volume concentration of 40%.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an outer layer thickness of 15-30 μm of the preformed unit is removed by the chemical polishing.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises a step of forming a drug-loaded coating on a surface of the polished preformed unit.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performed unit before the nitriding is 30-60 μm thicker than the polished preformed unit.

5. A manufacturing method of an iron-based alloy medical apparatus, comprising:

nitriding an iron-based alloy preformed unit at 350-550° C. for 30-100 minutes;

ion etching the iron-based alloy preformed unit with an ion etching time of 80-110% of the nitriding time; and

polishing the ion-etched preformed unit;

wherein the polishing is chemically polishing for 30-40 seconds; and by volume, a solution for the polishing comprises 75-85 parts of hydrogen peroxide having a volume concentration of 30% and 3-7 parts of hydrofluoric acid having a volume concentration of 40%.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein an outer layer thickness of 15-30 μm of the preformed unit is removed by the chemical polishing.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the method further comprises a step of forming a drug-loaded coating on a surface of the polished preformed unit.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the performed unit before the nitriding is 30-60 μm thicker than the polished preformed unit.
