How to get the most out of nitinol for your medical device application?
Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy, has unique superelastic and shape-memory capabilities and is a critical material used in many medical device applications. Nitinol can be a challenging material to use because its performance in the final application can be significantly impacted by how it is melted and the processing parameters of each manufacturing step. It is critical to specify the right requirements and manufacturing processes based on the needs of your device to realize the full potential of the nitinol material.
In this video, you will learn:
- How raw material melting and component processing can affect the material performance in the final application.
- How to specify the material and manufacturing properties based on your device needs.
- What manufacturing processes can be used on nitinol and how to choose each one.
