3D tisk Nitinolu: Technologie, mikrostrukturní a makrostrukturní charakteristiky

Abstract

This thesis deals with the issue of additive manufacturing of nitinol. The creation and development of nitinol and methods suitable for its production are briefly described in the work. The work deals with the characteristics of this material in more detail. The thesis describes the structural characteristics of nitinol and its unique abilities such as superelasticity and shape memory effect. Its mechanical properties are also described. The subject of the influence of additive manufacturing parameters and powder on the structure and properties of this material is analysed in more detail. The work also covers the heat treatment and finishing methods of nitinol production. A large part of the work is the use of nitinol in medicine, where this material is increasingly represented compared to conventional materials. Attention is also paid to the compatibility of the material with the human body and its problems. In conclusion, this work deals with areas of the material that are not completely known and need to be studied further.
