摘要

Among the latest developments in the medical field is the shift from open surgical procedures requiring long healing times to minimally invasive ones. These can lead to drastically reduced recovery times and even be done at out-patient facilities. In the centre of this development is Nitinol, a material which due to shape memory effect, pseudoelasticity and other unique properties, has found numerous applications including in making stents, arcwires and endoscopic instruments. With miniaturization, the challenge to produce these parts feasibly while maintaining high accuracy standards increases. While it is possible to machine Nitinol using conventional manufacturing processes like turning and grinding, these processes are limited for micro- and high precision machining, especially for thin-walled and fragile parts. They generate a lot of tool wear and can also result in unwanted force induced stresses in the workpiece. Micro electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM), a non-contact thermal ablation process which uses electrical discharges to machine the workpiece, can be used to address these challenges as it can realise miniature parts irrespective of their hardness or brittleness. In this paper, the suitability of micro-EDM in machining Nitinol for medical applications is investigated by comparing it to Steel and Tungsten Carbide (WC). Samples are machined using SARIX SX-100 high precision machine and analysis is done with regards to the process quality and dimensional accuracy. The results show that Nitinol is machinable by micro-EDM. However, the process is generally the slowest of the three materials and TWR is high.
