Nitinol wire is not just another metal—it’s a smart material. Its two most remarkable properties are shape memory and superelasticity, both stemming from a solid-state phase transformation. Understanding the science behind these phenomena reveals why Nitinol wire is so useful across industries. At Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc., we harness these properties to deliver reliable, high-performance products. Shape […]
In the world of advanced materials, Nitinol sheet stands out for its seemingly magical ability to “remember” its shape and spring back into form. This is no illusion—Nitinol is a shape memory alloy (SMA) with truly extraordinary capabilities rooted in real and repeatable science. At Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc., we supply high-quality Nitinol sheets tailored to specific […]
When it comes to the design and functionality of medical devices, particularly those used in imaging-guided procedures, the choice of materials can significantly impact the effectiveness and safety of the device. Among the many materials available, tantalum Marker bands are often chosen for their exceptional radiopacity and biocompatibility. Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc. specializes in the production of […]
Compression molding is widely used in various ceramic preparation fields, including structural ceramics, functional ceramics, ceramic films, etc. It has high controllability, repeatability and production efficiency, and can achieve large-scale production, so it plays an important role in the preparation of advanced ceramics. At the same time, compression molding can also be combined with other […]
Dry pressing molding (or mold pressing molding) is a commonly used molding method in the preparation of advanced ceramics. It is formed by mixing ceramic powder with organic or inorganic additives, and then putting the mixture into a special mold under certain temperature and pressure conditions. Compression molding has the advantages of precise shape control, […]
In the realm of minimally invasive medical procedures, precision and visibility are critical. That’s where marker bands come into play. These small but vital components are used to enhance the visibility of catheters and other interventional devices under imaging guidance. At Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc., we specialize in manufacturing high-performance marker bands that meet the rigorous demands […]
The heat transfer of AIN belongs to phonon heat conduction. When the lattice is complete and defect-free, the mean free path of phonons is large, and the thermal conductivity is high. The room temperature thermal conductivity of pure AIN crystal is 319W/(m·K) (Slack, 1987). Some studies have shown that for AIN ceramics with 100~220 W/(m·K), […]
Choosing the right Nitinol sheet for your project is crucial to achieving the desired performance, durability, and functional response. Whether you’re designing biomedical devices, aerospace components, or precision actuators, not all Nitinol sheets are the same. Each application requires a different combination of mechanical behavior, shape memory effect, and environmental resistance. As a trusted supplier […]
Thermal shock resistance refers to the ability of a material to withstand a sharp change in temperature without being destroyed. It can also be called thermal shock resistance or thermal stability. Since ceramic materials are often subjected to thermal shocks from fluctuations in ambient temperature during processing and service, the temperature changes are sometimes very […]
When it comes to sourcing molybdenum rods, or Moly rods, selecting the right supplier is crucial. The quality of the rods can significantly impact their performance in your applications. Here’s a guide to help you make the right choice. Factors to Consider Why Trust Matters A reliable supplier, such as Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc. not only provides […]
