Kurt Schenk and Neal Hanke, P.E.

Kurt Schenk and Neal Hanke attended a one day seminar about Nitinol and how its unique properties apply to medical devices and designs. The primary topics for the seminar included structure, processing, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and fatigue life of Nitinol. MEE has been helping medical device manufacturers to successfully use Nitinol in their products for almost 25 years. Even with years of experience, MEE staff continually seeks out educational opportunities to keep up with the latest research on this intriguing material.

New Laboratory Service

posted June 2016

Materials Evaluation and Engineering, Inc. has added testing to ASTM standard  F2082 to its list of laboratory services. This test provides a rapid and economical method for the determination of transformation temperature for Nickel-Titanium shape memory alloy, also known as Nitinol.

Nitinol’s unique shape-memory and superelastic properties lends itself to a wide variety of uses in medical and industrial fields. Results from the test determining the temperature when phase change occurs provide data applicable to the ultimate use and performance of the material.

Contact us for more information.

MD&M 2015

posted November 2015

It was a fun couple of days in the Exhibit hall of MD&M. Thanks to all who stopped by to talk with us.

MD&D2015-1

Newest design of our booth features the JEOL JSM-6610 LV scanning electron microscope.

We enjoyed the opportunity to talk about our laboratory and engineering services for those in the medical device industry. Almost everyone on staff had a chance to spend some time at the MEE booth and also some time strolling around the exhibit hall to see what was new.  This was MEE’s 16th year with a booth at MD&M.
