The present review gives an overview of the composition and fabrication technologies of
metallic cardiovascular stents and their effects on the stent characteristics and function. The …

Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys are expected to be promising materials for
cardiovascular stents (CVS), which can avoid the long-term clinical problems of current CVS …

Grain morphology control is a challenging issue for additive manufactured NiTi alloy, which
directly affects the functional properties. In this work, La 2 O 3 addition was applied to control …

Adding alloying elements like copper (Cu) and zirconium (Zr) to binary NiTi shape memory
alloys (NiTiCuZr SMA) raises the martensitic transition temperatures and functional fatigue …

Abstract Samples of Ni-Ti diffusion couples were prepared by hot pressing in a furnace with
a vacuum of 10− 1 Pa. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations indicated that …

Recently, concept for an alloy having both glass forming ability and shape memory
characteristics has been newly introduced based on the excellent functional properties of …

Recently, additive manufacturing have gradually become an attractive processing
technology for TiNi alloy. In this work, the Ti 5 0 Ni 50 alloy was successfully prepared by …

Abstract The Ni-Ti-Cr ternary is a critical system for shape memory alloys. In this work, a
thermodynamic reassessment of the Ni-Ti-Cr system was performed using the CALPHAD …

The present paper aims at investigating the mechanisms of imprinting LIPSS (laser-induced
periodic surface structures), arrangements of parallel ripples with a periodicity slightly …

Ni 51 Ti 49 alloy prepared by rapid solidification was trained through constraint-aging to
possess two-way shape memory effect (TWSME), so as to make a purpose-designed bio …
