At the microscopic level, machined nitinol (nickel-titanium) tends to exhibit poor surface quality. Common problems when micro precision machining nitinol include dross, crevices between the grains and sharp edges. These inherent imperfections may reduce service life and affect performance of parts, which can be especially critical for medical device manufacturing or other high-tech applications.

Norman Noble, Inc. spent three years in developing and perfecting a proprietary process for electropolishing nitinol. We are one of only a handful of contract manufacturing companies to provide this essential service. Our nitinol electropolishing is the most technologically advanced process available today.

Applications  Today, many new nickel-titanium products are medical device contract manufacturing products. Medical device manufacturing relies on ultra-precision parts and components for the breakthrough treatments and therapies only these nitinol products can deliver.

After micro precision machining and shape setting of nitinol is complete, approximately 99% of all nitinol parts must be electropolished. This phase in production eliminates imperfections and provides enhanced aesthetics. However, the ability to electropolish nitinol is a relatively rare capability. Developing this extraordinary process illustrates our commitment to customers and our preeminence in the medical device contract manufacturing field.

With this critical component in our single-source contract manufacturing of nitinol products, Norman Noble completes the production chain from start to finish. Requests for quotations can be emailed to the following address: sales@normannoble.net or visit our RFQ page.
