Abstract
High pushing force NiTi is a brand new material suitable for applications of medical guidewire. lt bas high stiffness, but
it has no yield point, does not show superelastic plateau, and the residual strain after 4% strain is very small. High pushing
force NiTi also shows stable characteristics at any temperature, i.e. its physical properties do not change according to the
thermal environment conditions.
