Thermodynamics of Nitinol

Journal of Applied Physics, 1987
A self-consistent macroscopic thermodynamics is developed for the calculation of work, heat, and dissipation for thermodynamic paths of the shape memory alloy, Nitinol. The thermodynamic system analyzed is a Nitinol helix for which extensive force–length–temperature (FLT) equation of state measurements have been made.

Bending characteristics of nitinol wire

American Journal of Orthodontics, 1979
U ntil recently only a limited group of alloys have been used for orthodontic wires, namely, gold-caper, austenitic stainless steel, and chromium-cobalt-nickle (CrCo-Ni) based materials. In general, the last two groups have similar mechanical properties although processing, stress-relieving, heat-treating, and minor alloying adjustments allow for small

Nitinol in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies, 2004
Surgical and interventional instruments as well as implants can cause significant magnetic resonance image (MRI) artifacts. The artifacts can be used to visualize instruments, cannulae, guide wires, catheters during interventional MRI and Nitinol devices have proven to be useful for MRI procedures. Diagnostic imaging is often compromised in the area of

Fatigue Fracture of Nitinol

Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention, 2021
Abstract Nitinol fatigue fracture surfaces generally exhibit similar features to most engineering alloys, including a flat fracture plane, ratchet marks, radial lines, beachmarks, and striations.

Nitinol Strain Effects

JOM, 1987
Straining annealed Nitinol (TiNi) wire changes the characteristics of its subsequent phase transformation. It generates peaks in electrical resistance and an additional peak in the calorimetry curve. This work explores the relationship between the stress associated with this strain and the peaks formed during transformation.

Biocompatibility of Nitinol

Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies, 2000
This review links together recent information on the biocompatibility of Nitinol. Fundamental aspects of biological responses to Nitinol and its alloy components are clarified. The clinical advantages of using this functional biomaterial are evident. Although most studies support the good biocompatibility of Nitinol, there are still a lot of unanswered

Metallographic method for nitinol

Metallography, 1985
Abstract It is demonstrated that for the alloy Ni-Ti, mechanical polishing followed by electrolytic polishing using a jet polisher such as the Struers Tenupol produces areas suitable for microscopical examination of the structure with polarized light illumination.

Nitinol Stents in Hemodialysis Access

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2004
MAINTAINING permanent vascular access remains the Achilles heel of hemodialysis. In the era of widespread use of percutaneous angioplasty and thrombectomy for salvaging failing and failed hemodialysis accesses, the consensus guidelines of the National Kidney Foundation Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative recommend relatively modest benchmarks: a 50% 6-
