摘要：
The value of Nitinol (Ni-Ti) in the field of medicine has proven to be far greater than just as the simple "springy metal" it was once considered to be. In particular, its use in vascular implants highlights many valuable yet subtle behaviors, including a "biased stiffness," enhanced fatigue resistance, low magnetic susceptibility, and good biocompatibility. Nitinol today is nearly as well known to medical-device designers and physicians as are stainless steel and titanium, and it is the enabling ingredient in a growing number of successful and profitable life-saving devices.
