Published:2024
Abstract
This article focuses on the fractography of Nitinol, a shape memory alloy of nickel and titanium, in superelastic biomedical applications, which primarily comprise drawn and/or laser-cut wire and tube components. Overload fracture, hydrogen embrittlement fracture, and fatigue fracture are discussed in detail.
