In our July 2015 installment [1], we discussed Fort Wayne Metals’ recent development of a beta titanium, nickel-free superelastic alloy. At the time, as shown in Figure 1 below, we were able to design excellent shape setting response in linear wire segments, e.g. for applications such as kink-resistant guidewire and stylets. Straight shapeset geometries were achieved through conventional stress-annealing of a suspended wire segment as well as continuous reel-to-reel wire lengths.
