New Nitinol Testing Solutions for Ultrasonics |

|
November 2008—Laserlinc has successfully applied ultrasonic technology to measure medical-grade Nitinol tubing. LaserLinc's application is the only practical, non-destructive and in-process method available. Using our UltraGauge+ unltrasonic system and a laser scanning micrometer, LaserLinc can now provide the inside diameter, wall thickness, and outside diameter of this material. Nitinol (Nickel titanium/NiTi) is a shape memory alloy used in, among other things, medical devices. Because of its unique crystalline structure, Nitinol has been difficult to measure accurately with ultrasonics, and because of its high cost, accurate measurement is a priority for manufacturers.
