Sterilization is required for using any device in contact with the human body. Numerous authors have studied device properties after sterilization and reported on bulk and surface modifications of many materials after processing. These surface modifications may in turn influence device biocompatibil

Nickel-titanium (NiTi) offers many advantages for the fabrication of coronary stents: shape memory, superelasticity, and radiopacity. However, many authors highlighted the selective dissolution of Ni from the alloy during the corrosion process that could lead to potential toxicity. The improvement o
Alloys of NiTi have gained popularity in biomedical applications ; however, Ni is known to cause toxic and allergic reactions in the body, and concerns have been expressed regarding the materialΓs biocompatibility. In this study, coupons of equiatomic NiTi were prepared by four methods, namely, mech
## Abstract The purpose of the present study is to thoroughly understand the influence of crystallographic texture on the stressβstrain asymmetric behavior of polycrystalline NiTi shape memory alloy under tension and compression. To do this, a 3D thermoβmechanical model has been implemented in a fi
## Abstract Various oxidation treatments were applied to nearly equiatomic NiTi alloys so as to form a Niβfree protective oxide on the surface. Sample surfaces were analyzed by Xβray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and NiTi transformation temperatures were determined by differential scanning calorimetr
## Abstract Biomedical TiNi shape memory alloy and Coβbased alloys were ion implanted, and corrosion resistance and hemocompatibility of these had been investigated with electrochemical method, dynamic clotting time, and hemolysis rate tests. The results indicated that the electrochemical stability
