Melt & Mill Product

Resonetics® specializes in the high-volume production of nitinol alloys and rapid development of experimental alloys for custom applications. Our alloys are meticulously customized to exhibit precise thermo-mechanical responses, aligning with the unique requirements of your diverse applications. Additionally, we can target specific material properties such as fatigue durability, radiopacity, stiffness, flexibility, and/or narrow transformation hysteresis ensuring that our products cater to a wide range of advanced technological needs. We develop binary, ternary, quaternary, and even more complex alloy compositions, incorporating elements such as cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, and platinum to meet the exact demands of your application.
