Introduction Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium) alloys are rapidly becoming the material of choice for self-expan-ding stents, graft support systems, filters, baskets, and various other devices for inter-ventional …

Here we review the existing knowledge base on the fatigue of Nitinol, both in terms of their stress or strain life (total life) and damage tolerant (crack propagation) behaviour, together with their fracture …

Nitinol wire has two distinctive properties, namely superelasticity and shape memory. Superelasticity refers to the ability of nitinol wire to recover its original shape after being deformed, while shape …

Nitinol is a nickel-titanium alloy with super elasticity and shape memory properties. Shape memory refers to the ability of Nitinol to undergo deformation at one temperature, then recover its original, …

NASA's "Spinoff" publication touts the benefits of Nitinol from work with Abbott's Glenn Glennon (http://spinoff.nasa.gov/Spinoff2015/ip_4.html) Abbott's Glenn Glennon shares in NASA's 2014 R&D …

We extended our tube drawing skills to nitinol starting in 1999. Our nitinol product offering now covers an OD range from .050 inch (1.27mm) to .400 inch (10mm) with wall thickness ranging from .004 inch …

Dec 28, 2017 · Nitinol is an essential material in the medical device engineer’s toolbox. However, traditional material properties, design concepts, and manufacturing processes are often not applicable.
