How can the cost-effectiveness of Nitinol devices be improved?

The use of nitinol (shape memory alloy) tubing for an LHP condenser allows a passive, self deploying heat rejection radiator for small spacecraft. In this lesson, students will explore how Nitinol, a shape memory alloy made of nickel and titanium, can do just that. Part of the handle is made of Nitinol or Shape Memory Metal, which 'remembers' a shape that has been previously set into it. To reset the spoon, first cool ... ... made of nitinol and treated with plasma-immersion ionic surface processing with silicon on the specific products (mediators of inflammation) release ... The Nitimplant clips are made of Nitinol alloy (Nitil- lium Research SRL, Napoli, Italy), with a special shape for sternal closure (Fig 1). The ... Nov 30, 2017 ... ... made from it because it's now commercially available. The future ... Buehler discovered Nitinol, a shape memory alloy comprised of 55 ... Mar 20, 2015 ... Nitinol is a shape memory alloy composed of near equal parts of nickel and titanium. Nitinol exhibits two unique properties: superelasticity and shape memory. Scientists were developing a heat and corrosive resistant alloy and during that process, created an alloy made of 55% nickel and 45% titanium. The name ... The MEDpro Stone Basket Nitinol is used for stone manipulation and the retrieval/removal of stones from the bladder, renal pelvis and ureter. Our team has been exploring the feasibility of 3D printing nitinol self-expanding stents using an additive manufacturing process called Selective Laser Melting ...
