I'm looking for a method of welding two dissimilar wire materials (Nitinol & 304 SS) together. The wires are ranging in diameter from .030” to .005”. The problem with Nitinol and stainless joining is the forming of a brittle intermetallic compound TiFe. This is why I need solid state joining...

I'm looking for a method of cleaning .004" MP35 wire to make it ready for coating with .001" thick ETFE. How can I clean the wire well enough to ensure that the draw oils and contaminants are removed, and also how can I quantify/measure this cleanliness? AR

I have already checked matweb. What I'm looking for is a material that can be used for a rod with diameter of .014" and a length of 75" that will not behave like a wet noodle and that will not break easily when flexed. Arne

I'm looking for a non-metallic material that will deliver > 50% elongation at break and flex modulus > 800ksi. Is this possible to achieve with composites?

This would be a butt joint

I need some input on how to join ø.016" stainless steel rod to ø.016" Nitinol rod (Nickel Titanium alloy) and achieve as strong a joint as possible. I am considering friction weld but I'm not sure if that will work on these diameters or these two materials. Any input would be...

the process is an insulation test in saline solution for medical guide wire. We are using a Vitrek V51 ac/dc safety analyzer to put a 100 Volt load on a wire and checking for current leakage. A good wire has a max current of 10 mA. Most wires read 0.00 mA, (due to sensitivity of read out?)...

I am looking for a way of checking for good connections in a system where an insulated wire is put into a water bath for hipot testing. At present, I only know that I have voltage going into the wire if the wire is bad, creating a ground loop through the water. How can I measure if I have a...

I have only the connector end available, the other end of the wire is insulated ans submerged.

We have tried laser, but the mark is dark grey, not very good contrast to our dark green coat.

I am presently looking for a method of applying a ring markerband on a wire that has been coated with a .0003" layer of PTFE. The PTFE used is dark green, and I need something that will adhere to the PTFE as well as giving a good color contrast. Minimal amount of increase in overall wire...
