At first glance, few materials would seem to have less in common than metals and textiles. And yet, by manufacturing nickel-titanium alloys as a highly deformable, interwoven material, more similar to ...

In this video I talk about an amazing type of metal called a shape memory alloy. The specific one in this video is called nitinol. It is an alloy of nickel and titanium. It forms an amazing structure ...

Nearly four decades after its serendipitous launch at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory, nitinol has become a worthy alternative to stainless steel as a medical device material. Interest in the ...

In conjunction with a laser scanning micrometer, UltraGauge+ provides data on the ID, OD, and wall thickness of medical-grade tubing. Nitinol is playing an increasingly prominent role in the ...

A recent study in Scientific Reports explored how volume energy density (VED) during laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) affects the microstructure and corrosion resistance of NiTi alloys (Nitinol). The ...
