Homer Mammalok biopsy marker Nitinol eyeglass frames NiTiNOL • Nickel Titanium Naval Ordnance Laboratory • 55 wt % Ni; 45 wt % Ti • Shape Memory & Super Elastic Material • Unique phase transformation between Austenite and Martensite phases • Biocompatible Widely used in medical applications Medical Instruments Putter with Nitinol Inset Images taken from www.nitinol.com/4applications.htm
Hysteresis Steel Unloading Curve for Steel Parallels Elastic Modulus Loading Unloading Nitinol Unloading Curve for Nitinol Follows Hysteretic Curve Loading Unloading Nitinol experiences little to no permanent deformation Steel is permanently deformed
Hysteresis / Biocompatibility Hysteresis shown by Nitinol is more similar to biological materials than steel http://www.memory-metalle.de/html/01_start/index_outer_frame.htm
Plastic Deformation Super Elastic Linear Elastic Stress-Strain Curve • Elastic Limit for Steel = 0.3% • Elastic limit for Nitinol = 8% Steel Nitinol • NiTiNOL contains greater wt% Ni, but strong Ni-Ti bonds make Nitinol more chemically stable than steel. 0.3% 8.0%
Super Elasticity • Occurs when mechanically deformed above its Af (Austenite Finish Temperature) • Deformation causes stress-induced phase transformation to Martensite • Martensite is unstable at this temp, therefore when stress is removed will spring back to austenite phase in pre-stressed position Stress-Induced Phase Transformation Deformed Martensite Austenite Unstable!

Deformed Martensite Nitinol Phases Austenite Temperature Af= Temp at which transition to Austenite Finishes Ms = Temp at which transition to Martensite Starts Temp at which transition = As to Austenite Starts Temp at which transition = Mf to Martensite Finishes Martensite 0 100 % Austenite
When heated above Af, returns to austentite phase and pre-deformed original shape. Shape Memory • Material shaped at high temperature • Above Af, material will always spring back to original shape after being deformed (Superelasticity) Austenite Temperature • Material transitions to Martensitic Phase upon Cooling Af As Ms Mf • Material is deformed in martensitic phase Martensite Deformation

TransitionTemperatures • Available -25°C to 120°C • Dependant on alloy composition, mechanical treatment and heatworking • Must be lower than body temperature for biomedical products What are typical Af values? Temperature Af As Ms Mf Deformation
TransitionTemperatures • Typically 30-40°C • Manipulated by alloying • NiTi + Copper 15°C height • NiTi + Niobium 120°C height How large is this gap? Temperature Af As Ms Mf Deformation
Effect of Temperature • Stress-Strain Curve is dependent on Af temperature Super Elasticity Temp Stress Shape Memory Af Strain
Corrosion Resistant Properties • Oxidizes to form TiO2 layer on surface at high temperatures in air • Electroplating reduces Ni in surface and creates TiO2 • Less corrosive and more chemically stable than steel • Surface similar to that of pure Ti Ni O2 TiO2 Surface Layer NiTi
Fatigue • Orders of magnitude greater resistance than any other linearly elastic material. • Typical limit at 107 cycles = .5% in outer fiber strain bending fatigue • Increasing mean strain (up to 4%) extends fatigue endurance • Mean strains above 4% follow strain-based Goodman Relationship • Increasing temperature decreases fatigue life • Due to increase in plateau stress • Affected by surface finish, but not melting technique Info from: http://www.memry.com/nitinolfaq/nitinolfaq.html#typicalfatigue
