The influence of surface oxides on the distribution and release of nickel from Nitinol wires

Abstract The patterns of Ni release from Nitinol vary depending on the type of material (Ni–Ti alloys with low or no processing versus commercial wires or sheets). A thick TiO2 layer generated on the wire surface during processing is often considered as a reliable barrier against Ni release. The pre...
