Our Nitinol Wire with light oxide finish is a rockstar for medical mandrels, bringing precision and reliability to the manufacturing of life-saving devices. Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy, is famous for its superelasticity and shape memory—meaning it can flex and return to its original shape with ease. With a nickel content of 54.5-57.0% and a transformation temperature range of -25°C to 35°C, our wire meets ASTM F2063 standards, ensuring biocompatibility and top-notch performance. The light oxide finish adds a smooth, lubricious surface, making it perfect for crafting catheters, stents, and guidewires.
What sets our wire apart? It’s engineered for precision and durability. With tensile strength of 1000-1400 MPa and excellent fatigue life, it’s built to handle the demands of medical manufacturing. The light oxide finish enhances corrosion resistance and reduces friction, ensuring mandrels glide smoothly during production. We’ve optimized it for applications where precision is critical, like forming delicate stents or guiding catheters. Our rigorous quality control ensures every batch is biocompatible and reliable, making our Nitinol wire a trusted choice for medical device manufacturers.

Our Nitinol wire is a carefully crafted blend of nickel (54.5-57.0%) and titanium, delivering the superelasticity and shape memory that make it ideal for medical mandrels. The transformation temperature range (-25°C to 35°C) is tuned for body-temperature performance, ensuring the wire performs reliably in medical applications. The light oxide finish is a game-changer, providing a smooth, low-friction surface that enhances mandrel performance during catheter or stent production. Compared to stainless steel or pure titanium, our Nitinol is a cut above. Stainless steel is strong but lacks shape memory, making it less versatile for dynamic applications. Pure titanium is biocompatible but doesn’t offer Nitinol’s flexibility or surface smoothness.
Our wire’s corrosion resistance is exceptional, thanks to the light oxide finish, which stands up to harsh manufacturing environments and bodily fluids. Its high fatigue life ensures it can handle repeated stress without failing—think of a mandrel shaping thousands of stents. With an elongation range of 10-20%, our wire balances flexibility and strength, making it perfect for precision applications. We also offer customization options, like adjusting transformation temperatures, to meet specific manufacturing needs, all while maintaining ASTM F2063 compliance for medical safety.
