Definitions
- the present invention relates to a medical alloy, and more particularly, an alloy suitable for a medical instrument such as an embolization coil, and particularly an alloy that hardly causes artifacts in a magnetic field environment such as a magnetic resonance imaging processing apparatus (MRI). About.
- MRI magnetic resonance imaging processing apparatus
- Patent Document 1 For medical materials applied to medical devices such as embolization coils, clips, catheters, stents, guide wires and the like, characteristics such as biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and workability are required. There are stainless steel, Co—Cr alloy, Pt—W alloy, and the like as metal materials that have been put into practical use so far to meet these requirements (Patent Document 1).
- MRI magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis apparatus
- the magnetic susceptibility of the material becomes a problem because it causes MRI artifacts.
- Artifacts are a phenomenon in which an MRI image is distorted due to the difference between the magnetic susceptibility of a metal in a magnetic field and the susceptibility of biological tissue in the surrounding area. If an artifact occurs, it will hinder accurate surgery and diagnosis.
- the medical material with a practical example mentioned above has a big difference of magnetic susceptibility with a biological tissue, and cannot suppress an artifact.
- Patent Document 2 there is a development example of a stent to which MRI to which an alloy of Au and Pd or an alloy of Ag and Pd is applied can be applied.
- the magnetic susceptibility (volume susceptibility) approximates the susceptibility of biological tissue.
- the magnetic susceptibility of living tissue is attributed to water, which is the main component, and the magnetic susceptibility of water is ⁇ 9 ppm ( ⁇ 9 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 ). Therefore, an artifact-free material is one whose magnetic susceptibility approximates that of water (-9 ppm).
- the present invention has been completed in view of the above circumstances, and provides an alloy material that is excellent in compatibility with a magnetic field environment such as MRI and can realize artifact-free.
- a magnetic susceptibility ( ⁇ 13 to ⁇ 5 ppm) of ⁇ 4 ppm with respect to the magnetic susceptibility of water is applied.
- the present invention provides an artifact-free alloy having a magnetic susceptibility (volume magnetic susceptibility) of ⁇ 13 to ⁇ 5 ppm, but this target value is slightly diamagnetic. Therefore, the present inventors have applied Au as a metal element that becomes the base of the alloy exhibiting such diamagnetism. This is because Au is a diamagnetic metal having a magnetic susceptibility of ⁇ 34 ppm and has good biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, workability, etc., and can be said to be suitable as a medical material. Then, the inventors decided to alloy a metal having a positive magnetic susceptibility in order to set the magnetic susceptibility of Au to the target value.
- This alloy element is required to have biocompatibility and corrosion resistance as well as Au, in addition to having a positive magnetic susceptibility.
- the inventors decided to apply Pt as the alloy element. This is because Pt is a metal having a magnetic susceptibility of +279 ppm and also has the required characteristics.
- Pt is preferable as an alloy element.
- Pt is easily alloyed with Au, and has an ⁇ -phase single-phase region that is a solid solution of the entire ratio (see the state diagram in FIG. 1). If the constituent phase is a single phase, it can be assumed that the magnetic susceptibility is uniform, and the magnetic susceptibility can be controlled by adjusting the Pt concentration.
- the present inventors first examined whether or not a single-phase ( ⁇ -phase) Au—Pt alloy could be produced and its magnetization characteristics.
- the single-phase Au was obtained as a supersaturated solid solution by appropriate solution treatment from the ⁇ -phase region.
- -It was confirmed that a Pt alloy could be produced.
- this single-phase Au—Pt alloy tends to linearly change the magnetic susceptibility to the positive side as the Pt concentration increases.
- the magnetic susceptibility of the single-phase Au—Pt alloy shows a suitable magnetic susceptibility at a Pt concentration of 34 to 36% by mass. If the Pt concentration is less than 34% by mass, the effect of Pt is insufficient and the magnetic susceptibility is in a suitable range. When the Pt concentration exceeds 36% by mass, there is a tendency to shift to the plus side.
- the composition range (Pt concentration of 34 to 36% by mass) for exhibiting the above suitable magnetic susceptibility is extremely narrow.
- both Au and Pt are noble metals with large price fluctuations, and it is preferable that a desired magnetic susceptibility can be exhibited in a wider composition range in consideration of the cost of the alloy.
- the present inventors have used the ⁇ phase as a matrix for the Au—Pt alloy having a Pt concentration of less than 34% by mass.
- the inventors have found that the magnetic susceptibility of the entire alloy can be made favorable by precipitating while controlling the Pt-rich phase, and have arrived at the present invention.
- the present invention is a medical alloy composed of an Au—Pt alloy, comprising a Pt concentration of 24% by mass or more and less than 34% by mass, the balance being Au, and the ⁇ phase matrix having a higher Pt concentration than at least the ⁇ phase. It has a material structure in which a Pt-rich phase is distributed, and the Pt-rich phase is made of an Au—Pt alloy having a Pt concentration of 1.2 to 3.8 times the Pt concentration of the ⁇ phase.
- a medical alloy having an area ratio of rich phase of 1 to 22%.
- the Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention adjusts the magnetic susceptibility of the entire alloy to a suitable range by precipitating a predetermined amount of Pt-rich phase in the ⁇ phase in the Pt concentration range of 24 mass% to less than 34 mass%. To do.
- the mechanism of adjusting the magnetic susceptibility will be described.
- the ⁇ phase serving as a matrix has a Pt concentration of less than 34% by mass, and the magnetic susceptibility is on the minus side of the preferred range as described above.
- the Pt-rich phase which is a precipitation phase
- the Pt-rich phase is an Au—Pt alloy having a higher Pt concentration than the ⁇ phase, but considering the Pt magnetic susceptibility (+279 ppm), the magnetic susceptibility of this precipitation phase is a positive magnetic susceptibility.
- the magnetic susceptibility of the alloy is shifted to the plus side of the alloy in the single phase state, and the magnetic susceptibility can be made a suitable range by making the distribution amount of the precipitated phase appropriate.
- the Pt rich phase which is a precipitation phase distributed in the ⁇ phase, is specifically an Au—Pt alloy having a Pt concentration of 1.2 to 3.8 times the Pt concentration of the ⁇ phase.
- the composition of the precipitated Pt-rich phase varies depending on the alloy composition of the Au—Pt alloy. This point will be described later.
- the distribution amount of the Pt rich phase is set to 1 to 22% as an area ratio occupied by the Pt rich phase with respect to the whole in an arbitrary cross section of the alloy.
- the distribution amount of the Pt rich phase is an element to be adjusted by the composition.
- the area ratio is an area ratio with respect to an observation field when an alloy structure is observed for an arbitrary cross section.
- the cutting site and cutting direction at the time of observation are not specified.
- the Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention specifies the area ratio of a predetermined precipitation phase, but does not set the observation visual field so as to intentionally remove the precipitation phase.
- the viewing field is preferably set in the range of 10,000 to 360,000 ⁇ m 2 .
- the Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention can be distinguished by the relation between the Pt concentration range of the alloy and the composition of the Pt rich phase.
- the Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention has two structures: (1) an alloy configuration at a Pt concentration of 28% by mass or more and less than 34% by mass, and (2) an alloy configuration at a Pt concentration of 24% by mass or more and less than 28% by mass.
- an alloy composition division it has suitable magnetic susceptibility by adjusting the composition of a Pt rich phase, etc.
- the structure of the preferable alloy in each composition section will be described.
- a Pt rich phase (Pt) having a composition approximate to the ⁇ 2 phase in the Au—Pt phase diagram (see FIG. 1). And those having a concentration of 45 ⁇ 5 mass%).
- the Pt-rich phase (alpha 2 phase) exhibits a lamellar structure towards the intragranular (alpha phase) from the grain boundary of the alloy by discontinuous precipitation (grain boundary reaction type precipitation). Deposition of Pt-rich phase by the precipitation forms (alpha 2 phase) involves the precipitation of alpha 1-phase is Au-rich phase at the same time. Therefore, an alloy having this composition range is composed of three phases of ⁇ 1 phase + ⁇ 2 phase using ⁇ phase as a matrix.
- the ⁇ 1 phase has a low Pt concentration and has very little influence on the magnetic susceptibility of the entire alloy. Therefore, in this composition range, it is sufficient to define the distribution amount of the ⁇ 2 phase that is the Pt rich phase.
- the distribution amount of the ⁇ 2 phase is preferably such that the area ratio in an arbitrary cross section of the alloy is 5 to 15%. If it is less than 5%, the magnetic susceptibility of the alloy may be on the negative side of the preferred range, and if it exceeds 15%, the magnetic susceptibility may be on the positive side of the preferred range.
- the Pt concentration of the alloy changes the susceptibility of the ⁇ phase that is the matrix, and shifts to the plus side as the Pt concentration increases. Accordingly, the amount of the Pt rich phase is preferably adjusted according to the alloy composition, and the lower the Pt concentration of the alloy, the larger the amount of distribution of the Pt rich phase.
- Pt-rich phase precipitated is tentatively called alpha 2 'phase, higher Pt concentration than alpha 2 phase phase distribution Those that do are preferred.
- the Pt concentration of the ⁇ 2 ′ phase in this alloy composition is preferably 86 to 90% by mass.
- the precipitation form of the Pt-rich phase ( ⁇ 2 ′ phase) in this alloy composition is continuous precipitation unlike the alloy composition of (1), and the part having a high dislocation density (the transition density formed by the introduction of processing strain) (Including high sites). Therefore, the ⁇ 2 ′ phase can be precipitated in part of the grains in addition to the grain boundaries.
- the distribution amount is preferably such that the area ratio in an arbitrary cross section of the alloy is 10 to 22%. If it is less than 10%, the magnetic susceptibility of the alloy is on the negative side of the preferred range, and if it exceeds 22%, the magnetic susceptibility is on the positive side of the preferred range.
- the ⁇ 2 ′ phase which is the Pt rich phase described above also acts as a Pt rich phase in the Au—Pt alloy of (1) having a Pt concentration of 28 mass% or more and less than 34 mass%.
- the Pt concentration of the ⁇ 2 ′ phase is 86 to 90% by mass as described above.
- the distribution amount is preferably such that the area ratio in an arbitrary cross section of the alloy is 1 to 13%.
- the phase structure of the Au—Pt alloy having a Pt concentration of 28% by mass or more and less than 34% by mass in which the ⁇ 2 ′ phase is precipitated is also “ ⁇ phase” + “ ⁇ phase having an Au concentration gradient” + “ ⁇ 2 ′ phase.
- the magnetic susceptibility is determined by the distribution amount of the ⁇ 2 ′ phase that is a Pt rich phase.
- the Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention can bring the magnetic susceptibility into a suitable range by appropriately depositing the Pt-rich phase within the composition range of the Pt concentration of 24 mass% or more and less than 34 mass%.
- the Au-Pt alloy having a Pt concentration of less than 24% by mass has an ⁇ -phase magnetic susceptibility that is too negative, and the susceptibility of the alloy cannot be made suitable even when the action of the Pt-rich phase is taken into consideration.
- those having a Pt concentration of 34% by mass or more exhibit a suitable magnetic susceptibility in the ⁇ -phase single-phase state, and the presence of precipitates makes the magnetic susceptibility unfavorable, resulting in 36% by mass. If it exceeds, the magnetic susceptibility becomes too positive even in a single phase state, and the magnetic susceptibility cannot be made favorable.
- the basic process of the method for producing an Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention includes a process of precipitating a Pt rich phase by heat-treating a supersaturated solid solution alloy composed of an ⁇ phase at 600 to 1000 ° C.
- the ⁇ -phase single-phase supersaturated solid solution is heat-treated in order to adjust the magnetic susceptibility by controlling the amount of precipitates (Pt-rich phase). That is, if only the Pt-rich phase is precipitated, there is no need to form a supersaturated solid solution, and it is possible to precipitate the Pt-rich phase even if the alloy obtained by melt casting or the like is heated to the ⁇ -phase region and cooled. Although it is possible, the precipitation amount is excessive or insufficient. Therefore, first, the alloy is converted to a single-phase supersaturated solid solution, and heat-treated under heat treatment conditions considering the alloy composition, thereby precipitating a Pt-rich phase corresponding to the target magnetic susceptibility.
- the single phase treatment is a process in which a melt-cast alloy ingot is cold-worked and heat-treated at a temperature equal to or higher than the ⁇ -phase region temperature according to the alloy composition.
- the cold working in the single phase process is a process that breaks the cast structure by melt casting and facilitates the movement of atoms by the subsequent heat treatment.
- the heat treatment is a process for eliminating segregation due to casting and further converting the alloy phase structure to the ⁇ phase, and returning the precipitates in the alloy to the ⁇ phase, and finally eliminating the precipitates. is there. Then, by repeating this combination of cold working and heat treatment a plurality of times, the segregation is eliminated and the disappearance of precipitates occurs, and the material composition is made uniform and the phase structure is made single phase.
- the cold working may be any working mode such as cold rolling, cold forging, cold drawing, or cold extrusion.
- Cold rolling such as groove roll rolling is preferable.
- the processing rate in this cold working is preferably 30% or more. Incidentally, to that the machining and processing at cold (room temperature), the processing between warm or hot is because alpha 2 phase is precipitated.
- the heat treatment in the single-phase treatment is preferably performed at a heating temperature of 1150 to 1250 ° C.
- the heating time during heating is preferably 1 to 24 hours.
- the cooling after the heating is rapid cooling, and it is put into the refrigerant within 3 seconds after the heating.

- the method for producing an Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention heats the ⁇ -phase single-phase supersaturated solid solution alloy obtained as described above to precipitate a Pt-rich phase.
- This heat treatment for intentional phase separation is a heat treatment at a temperature that does not reach the ⁇ phase region in the ( ⁇ 1 + ⁇ 2 ) region in the phase diagram, and the specific temperature range is 600 to 1000 ° C. .
- the heat treatment time is preferably 1 to 48 hours.
- Phase separation by heat treatment for a supersaturated solid solution is likely to proceed with a relatively high Pt concentration Au—Pt alloy.
- the Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention has different Pt-rich phase compositions and precipitation modes depending on the Pt concentration.
- the high Pt concentration enables phase separation at a high temperature at which atoms easily move, and the concentration difference between the ⁇ phase and the separated phase ( ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 ) increases at low temperatures. This is because phase separation occurs only by application of thermal energy because it becomes a driving force for phase separation.
- the heat treatment temperature of the alloy having a high Pt concentration is high, and the heat treatment temperature of the alloy having a low Pt concentration is low. It is preferable to set the temperature to the side.
- heat treatment and introduction of processing strain can be used in combination as a means for causing phase separation for a single-phase supersaturated solid solution.
- This method is particularly effective for the supersaturated solid solution alloy (2) having a Pt concentration of 24 mass% or more and less than 28 mass%.
- the heat treatment temperature when the Pt concentration is low, it is preferable to set the heat treatment temperature for phase separation to the low temperature side, but when the heat treatment temperature is low, the diffusion of Pt and Au is slowed. Because of these factors, in a supersaturated solid solution alloy having a Pt concentration of less than 28% by mass, phase separation is difficult to proceed only by heat treatment.
- cold working is performed on the supersaturated solid solution alloy, the working strain is left in the material structure, and the strain energy is used as a driving force for phase separation, whereby phase separation by heat treatment proceeds.
- the amount of precipitation of the Pt rich phase can be controlled mainly by the working rate during cold working.
- the processing rate is preferably 10 to 30%. If the processing rate is less than 10%, the introduction of strain is insufficient and a sufficient Pt-rich phase cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the processing rate exceeds 30%, the Pt-rich phase is precipitated beyond the preferred range, and the magnetic susceptibility of the alloy is greatly shifted to the plus side.
- any working style such as cold rolling, cold forging, cold drawing, and cold extrusion, may be used as this cold working. Cold rolling is preferred.
- the work rate is mainly set for controlling the precipitation amount of the Pt rich phase, and the work rate is more important than the heat treatment temperature.
- the heat treatment temperature is preferably 700 to 900 ° C.
- the heat treatment time is preferably 1 to 12 hours.
- phase separation method involving cold working is particularly useful for supersaturated solid solution alloys having a Pt concentration of 24% by mass or more and less than 28% by mass, but the Pt concentration is 28% by mass or more and less than 34% by mass. It is also effective for supersaturated solid solutions.
- the processing conditions and heat treatment conditions are preferably the same as described above.
- the Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention can be manufactured by subjecting an ⁇ -phase single-phase supersaturated solid solution to an appropriate heat treatment according to the composition.
- melt casting conditions can be applied to the melt casting of the alloy ingot before the production of the supersaturated solid solution.
- the alloy composition is adjusted by mixing Au and Pt ingots with the desired composition (Pt: 24 mass% or more and less than 34 mass%), and melting and casting by arc melting, high-frequency heating melting, etc. to produce an alloy ingot can do.
- Pt 24 mass% or more and less than 34 mass%
- melting and casting by arc melting, high-frequency heating melting, etc. to produce an alloy ingot can do.
- dissolution casting you may perform hot processing, such as hot forging, before a single phase process. By performing the fracture of the solidified structure and the segregation of segregation in advance by hot forging with low deformation resistance, the subsequent single-phase treatment becomes more effective.
- the processing temperature in the hot processing is preferably 700 to 1050 ° C. This is because when the temperature is lower than 700 ° C., malleability is lost and cracking occurs during processing.
- the medical alloy made of the Au—Pt alloy according to the present invention has a magnetic susceptibility suitable as an artifact-free material.
