摘要：
A sheet of titanium alloy that is less than 0.015″ thick has adequate plasticity for subsequent forming into at least a part of a medical device that is MR-Conditional. A method for making the titanium alloy sheet includes cold rolling a titanium alloy to form a sheet having an average thickness less than or equal to 0.015″, cutting the sheet to length, and vacuum annealing the sheet in a final step, wherein the sheet following vacuum annealing has adequate plasticity for subsequent forming into at least a part of a medical device that is MR-Conditional. Neither grinding nor chemical etching is used to reduce the thickness of the titanium alloy when processing the sheet.
