| Session 4A: Nitinol Properties and Manufacture | ||||
| Location: Governors Hall I & V (Radisson Riverfront Hotel) | ||||
| (Please check final room assignments on-site). | ||||
| Session Description: Session Background:
Nitinol has been used in medical devices for over 20 years, yet the complexity of alloy system leads to continuing new revelations about
understanding of the properties of particular alloys and devices and how to affect and control them with different manufacturing methods.
Session Focus:
The session will highlight some new and novel methods of manufacturing Nitinol articles, ways of testing the mechanical properties, and the effects which manufacturing methods can have to
cause device defects.
Session Takeaways:
Attendees will be introduced to new methods of making and testing Nitinol articles and will be given an appreciation of the dangers of
introducing dangerous defects if inappropriate manufacturing techniques are employed. | ||||
