Hysteresis / Biocompatibility
http://www.memory-metalle.de/html/01_start/index_outer_frame.htm
Hysteresis shown by Nitinol is more similar to biological materials than steel
Stress-Strain Curve
• Elastic Limit for Steel = 0.3%
• Elastic limit for Nitinol = 8%

Super Elastic
Plastic Deformation
• NiTiNOL contains greater wt% Ni, but strong Ni-Ti bonds make Nitinol more chemically stable than steel.
Stress-InducedPhase
Transformation
Super Elasticity
• Occurs when mechanically deformed above its Af (Austenite Finish Temperature)
• Deformation causes stress-induced phase transformation to Martensite
• Martensite is unstable at this temp, therefore when stress is removed will spring back to austenite phase in pre-stressed position

How large is this gap?
• Typically 30-40°C
• Manipulated by alloying– NiTi + Copper 15°C height
– NiTi + Niobium 120°C height
Effect of Temperature
• Stress-Strain Curve is dependent on Af temperature

Corrosion Resistant Properties
• Oxidizes to form TiO2 layer on surface at high temperatures in air
• Electroplating reduces Ni in surface and creates TiO2
• Less corrosive and more chemically stable than steel
• Surface similar to that of pure Ti

Fatigue
• Orders of magnitude greater resistance than any other linearly elastic material.
• Typical limit at 107 cycles = .5% in outer fiber strain bending fatigue
• Increasing mean strain (up to 4%) extends fatigue endurance
• Mean strains above 4% follow strain-based Goodman Relationship
• Increasing temperature decreases fatigue life– Due to increase in plateau stress
• Affected by surface finish, but not melting technique

Why Nonlinear?
• Material is Nitinol ( alloy of Nickel + Titanium)– Super elasticity – 10 times more elastic than Stainless
steel
– Shape memory – Restoring predetermined shape thru heating after plastic deformation
