Effect of heat treatment conditions on the phase transformation characteristics of nitinol

Abstract

Nitinol is the most widely used shape memory alloy in medical applications. In this study, the effect of different heat treatment conditions on the phase transformation characteristics of medical-grade nitinol was investigated. Nickel-rich nitinol wires containing 50.6% nickel with a diameter of 120 μm were used in the experimental studies. The nitinol wires were heat treated for 10 minutes at heat treatment temperatures between 540 and 570 °C. Then, nitinol wires were heat treated at a heat treatment temperature of 550 °C between 8 and 14 minutes. The austenitic and martensitic transition temperatures of these samples were measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In the experiments with 10 minutes of heat treatment time, transition temperatures decreased, and hysteresis increased with the increase in heat treatment temperature. This is related to the amount of precipitates in the structure. In the experiments carried out at 550 °C, transition temperatures decreased, and hysteresis increased with increasing heat treatment time. Experimental studies showed that the austenite finish (Af) temperature of all nitinol wire samples was below 37 °C, and they will exhibit superelasticity in the human body.
