Nitinol's name is derived from its alloy composition and place of discovery; Nickel Titanium and the Naval Ordinance Laboratory in America. In 1959, William J Buehler attempted to design better ...

During the early 1960s, a group of scientists gathered near a laboratory workbench to observe a bent metal. After applying heat to the folded strip, the scientists observed an unbelievable process - ...

You’ve likely heard of Nitinol wire before, but we suspect the common base knowledge doesn’t go much beyond repeating that it’s a shape-memory alloy. [Bill Hammack], the Engineer Guy, takes us on a ...

As an extremely versatile product, nickel-titanium (nitinol) has been in high demand for the production of various medical devices since well before the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Today, a ...

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 ...

Additive manufacturing technology is appropriate for fabricating NiTi products, but the control of microstructure, phase transformation, and mechanical property of NiTi alloys is scarce and imperative ...

To keep blood vessels from clogging, surgeons sometimes implant compressed stents that expand to the right size and shape when warmed by body heat. The tiny stents get their so-called "shape memory" ...

The nickel-titanium alloy Nitinol has revolutionized certain segments of the medical device industry. Its unique characteristics have been employed to create a new generation of devices such as ...

Another Kickstarter, another opportunity for people to get mad at delayed and poorly functioning (if delivered at all) gadgets. This project aims to make airless tires for bikes and scooters using ...
