Picosecond laser fabrication of nitinol for coronary stent applications
(Laser Institute of America, 2010)
Nitinol (a shape memory nickel-titanium alloy) is one of the desirable materials for medical stents applications, due to its high corrosion resistance, self-expansion and biocompatibility. The stents are commonly fabricated ...
Underwater femtosecond laser micromachining of thin nitinol tubes for medical coronary stent manufacture
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-06)
Microprofiling of medical coronary stents has been dominated by the use of Nd:YAG lasers with pulse lengths in the range of a few milliseconds, and material removal is based on the melt ejection with a high-pressure gas. ...
