Abstract This is the first report presenting development of a Co–Cr–W–Ni–Mn alloy by adding 6 mass pct Mn to ASTM F90 Co–20Cr–15W–10Ni (CCWN, pct) for use as balloon-expandable stents with an excellent balance mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The effects addition on microstructures well were investigated after hot forging, solution treatment, swaging, static recrystallization. Mn...

The martensite-to-austenite reversion mechanisms under continuous heating and annealing of metastable austenitic stainless steel subjected to cold swaging were studied. reversion-temperature-time diagram was constructed using high-resolution dilatometry. revealed a sequence martensitic diffusional recrystallization. Martensitic might be separated by the rate >10 °C/s. started via mechanism, ...

Titanium and its alloys give immense specific strength, imparting properties such as corrosion fracture resistance, making them the right candidate for medical aerospace applications. There is a wide range of engineering applications that use titanium in variety forms. The cost these slightly higher comparison to other variants due problematic extraction molten process. To reduce costs, alloy p...

Suture performances include handling characteristics and knot mechanical properties. These performances depend mainly on frictional, flexural, and compressive forces. The interaction between these forces developed inside the suture knot governs the displacement mode and the deformability of the suture yarn inside the knot. In the present work, we studied the effect of manufacturing conditions o...
