  • Influence of Nitinol Wire Surface Preparation Procedures (.pdf)
    As the use of nitinol continues to grow in medical applications, so also does the need to acquire additional fundamental information regarding the stability of the material, in specific areas of deployment in the body. For devices fabricated from wires, data relating to the influence of wire
  • Structure-Property Relationships in Conventional and Nanocrystalline NiTi Intermetallic Alloy Wire (.pdf)
    Homogeneous 177-lm diameter nanocrystalline Nitinol wires were produced and compared to microcrystalline Nitinol from equivalent ingot stock. Property measurement was carried out using cyclic tension testing, strain-controlled fatigue testing and bend and stress-free recovery testing (BFR). A B2
  • Engineering Characteristics of Drawn Filled Nitinol Tube (.pdf)
    The elastic behavior of various thermally set Nitinol-DFT (R)-Platinum1 composite wires was investigated in both axial and flexural modes. Two varieties of composite materials were analyzed, each unique in the amount of cross-sectional area made up of Platinum. The measured properties
  • Fatigue Performance of Nitinol Round Wire with Varying Cold Work Reductions (.pdf)
    The role of cold work reduction and its effect on fatigue properties are examined by means of rotary beam fatigue testing. In this study, processing parameters from the initial ingot to the final size before finish drawing were held constant. Fatigue specimens were prepared with between 20 and 55%
  • Characterizing Fatigue Response of Nickel-Titanium (.pdf)
    expectancy of Nitinol monofilament round wires. Fatigue testing has been employed to characterize the influence of subtle changes in inclusion content, chemistry variations of raw material, ingot transformation temperatures of Nitinol _NiTi_, and surface finish conditions for implant grade wires.
  • Optical Comparators in Medical Device Manufacturing
    New England Precision Grinding (NEPG) of Holliston, MA produces micro-ground wire from 304 stainless steel and super-elastic nitinol to meet the precise demands of medical devices. Established in 1987, NEPG has developed a proprietary centerless grinding process for ever-smaller devices to meet
  • Special Metals Make Unparalleled Medical Devices Possible
    From traditional metals, such as titanium and copper to more modern alloys like Nitinol, the metals industry continues to meet the needs for advancing the medical device industry. Around the world, people are living longer with more active lifestyles thanks to continuing advancements in medical
