As Nitinol emerges to find more and more applications in medical devices as well as industrial and commercial markets, understanding on the effects of material processing becomes increasingly important. More so than other materials, properties of Nitinol are significantly affected by its fabrication processes, There is an abundant amount of processing data available in the industry. However, they are often kept proprietary and not released in the public domain. This paper reviews available publications on Nitinol fabrication processes, such as melting, forming, shaping, treating, cutting, joining and finishing, etc., commonly employed or developed for the manufacture of Nitinol materials and components. Effects of these operations on the material properties are discussed.
