Nitinol overview

Our comprehensive Nitinol program is built on innovative products, technical expertise, and expanding capabilities to support you better. Over 30+ years, we have strategically grown to become fully integrated from melt to custom finish. Today, we are a worldwide leader in customized Nitinol solutions conforming to ASTM F2063 in conventional and cutting-edge applications across medical and non-medical markets. 

Understanding Nitinol

From robust melting capabilities to advanced processing techniques, we empower your vision with high-quality product offerings that advance devices ranging from stents and surgical implants to spacecraft and industrial valves.

With our recent ongoing investments and vertical integration, we have secured our Nitinol supply chain. We can provide you with:

  • Advantageous lead times
  • Fewer potential bottlenecks
  • Higher quality control
  • More stable pricing
  • Ability to scale your operations or develop new products

 

Nitinol solutions

Whether you require the superelastic properties that support life-saving medical devices or the shape memory effect driving advanced industrial applications, we customize the right Nitinol construction to fit your application.

Shape memory Nitinol

Commonly used in actuators and industrial applications

Superelastic Nitinol

Commonly used in medical devices

 

Nitinol melt solutions

We provide a fully integrated approach to Nitinol production, controlling every step from melting to custom finishing, ensuring consistent, high-quality material to meet industry demands.

Surface finishes

We offer a variety of surface finishes so you can tailor our Nitinol to your exact needs.

  • Pickled chemical removal of oxide layer along with a slight amount of base metal - surface will have a rough texture
  • Etched chemical removal of oxide layer - will maintain smooth surface
  • Etched and mechanically polished chemical removal of oxide layer followed by mechanical polish - surface will have stainless steel appearance, although at > 40x magnification micro scratches are present
  • Light oxide diamond drawn with a gold, amber, or dark brown surface color
  • Dark oxide diamond drawn with a dark purple, gray, or black surface color
