Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Nitinol components does Motion Dynamics manufacture?

We produce a wide range of Nitinol components including micro wireforms, coils, retrieval devices, guidewire elements, and reinforcement structures for catheter and delivery systems.

How does Motion Dynamics control Nitinol’s transformation temperatures?

We achieve precise transformation behavior through controlled shape-setting processes, proprietary fixturing, and validated thermal profiles. Each lot is verified for austenite and martensite transition temperatures to ensure consistent mechanical performance.

Can Motion Dynamics assist with prototype development or design optimization?

Yes. Our engineering team partners directly with OEMs to prototype Nitinol geometries, optimize material performance, and establish process parameters that can seamlessly transition into production.

Do you offer surface finishing or cleaning for Nitinol components?

Yes. Our in-house surface finishing includes ultrasonic cleaning, passivation, and a proprietary chemical etch process that enhances cleanliness and corrosion resistance. We also offer contracted electropolishing services for customers requiring ultra-smooth or mirror-finish surfaces.
