April 13, 2026 – April 15, 2026<\/p>

Time: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM<\/p>

Instructor: Alan R. Pelton, PhD<\/p>

Sponsored by: The unique properties of the shape memory alloy Nitinol have led to many transformational medical device innovations, including self-expanding stents, percutaneous delivered heart valves, kink resistant guide wires, and self-locking orthopedic devices. Its superelastic qualities allow the alloy to withstand large amounts of recoverable strain, and its potential for excellent biocompatibility and fatigue resistance make it the material of choice for some of the most demanding medical device applications. However, Nitinol\u2019s unique properties are very dependent upon alloy composition and processing. In this course, you will learn the variables that affect Nitinol\u2019s properties, how to control them, and…<\/div>
