Definitions
- the present invention relates to wires having a low modulus of elasticity. More particularly, the present invention is related to improvements in nickel-titanium alloy wires.
- the present invention has application to many arts, including the guidewire arts of some of the parent applications hereof, the electrical cable arts of others of the parent applications hereof, etc.
- Wire is manufactured from ingots using a rolling mill and a drawing bench.
- the preliminary treatment of the material to be manufactured into wire is done in the rolling mill where white hot billets (square section ingots) are rolled to round wire rod.
- the action of atmospheric oxygen causes a coating of mill scale to form on the hot surface of the rod and must be removed.
- This descaling can be done by various mechanical methods (e.g., shot- blasting) or by pickling, i.e., immersion of the wire rod in a bath of dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid or mixtures with hydrofluoric acid. After pickling, the wire rod may additionally undergo a jolting treatment which dislodges the scale loosened by the acid.
- Prior art Figure 1 shows a simple drawing bench 10.
- the wire 12 is pulled through a draw plate 14 which is provided with a number of holes, e.g. 16, (dies) of various diameters. These dies have holes which taper from the diameter of the wire 12 that enters the die to the smaller diameter of the wire 12' that emerges from the die.
- the thick wire rod 12 is coiled on a vertical spool 18 called a swift and is pulled through the die by a rotating drum 20 mounted on a vertical shaft 22 which is driven by bevel gearing 24.
- the drum can be disconnected from the drive by means of a clutch 26.
- the end of the wire is sharpened to a point and threaded through the die. It is seized by a gripping device and rapidly pulled through the die. This is assisted by lubrication of the wire.
- Each passage through a die reduces the diameter of the wire by a certain amount. By successively passing the wire through dies of smaller and smaller diameter, thinner and thinner wire is obtained.
- the dies used in the modern wire industry are precision-made tools, usually made of tungsten carbide for larger sizes or diamond for smaller sizes.
- the die design and fabrication is relatively complex and dies may be made of a variety of materials including single crystal natural or synthetic diamond, polycrystalline diamond or a mix of tungsten and cobalt powder mixed together and cold pressed into the carbide nib shape.
- a cross section of die 16 is shown in prior art Figure 2.
- the dies used for drawing wire have an outer steel casing 30 and an inner nib 32 which, as mentioned above, may be made of carbide or diamond or the like.
- the die has a large diameter entrance 34, known as the bell, which is shaped so that wire entering the die will draw lubricant with it.
- the shape of the bell causes the hydrostatic pressure to increase and promotes the flow of lubricant into the die.
- the region 36 of the die where the actual reduction in diameter occurs is called the approach angle. In the design of dies, the approach angle is an important parameter.
- the bearing region does not cause diametric reduction, but does produce a frictional drag on the wire.
- the chief function of the bearing region 38 is to permit the conical approach surface 36 to be refinished (to remove surface damage due to die wear) without changing the die exit.
- the last region 40 of the die is called the back relief. The back relief allows the metal wire to expand slightly as the wire leaves the die. It also minimizes the possibility of abrasion taking place if the drawing stops or if the die is out of alignment with the path of the wire.
- wire drawing appears to be a simple metalworking process, those skilled in the art will appreciate that many different parameters affect the physical quality of the drawn wire. Among these parameters, draw stress and flow stress play an important role. If these parameters are not carefully considered, the drawn wire may have reduced tensile strength. A discussion of the practical aspects of wire drawing can be found in Wright, Roger N., "Mechanical Analysis and Die Design", Wire Journal, October 1979, the complete disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- the wire forming processes described above may be used to form different kinds of wires.
- various characteristics of the formed wire are of interest, depending upon the art in which the wire is to be used. These aspects include, but are not limited to the electrical resistance, tensile strength, and flexibility of the wire. Wire flexibility is particularly important in the medical arts which utilize wires in inter alia stents and guidewires, although wire flexibility is important in other arts as well. For that reason, the medical arts have had much interest recently in nickel-titanium (Nitinol) alloy wires which exhibit superelastic characteristics.
- the highly flexible cable of the present invention includes two and preferably three or more strands of nickel- titanium alloy wire which are twined to form a wire rope.
- the wire rope has no central core wire, while according to other embodiments, the wire rope is provided with a central core wire.
- the nickel-titanium alloy wire rope is drawn through successive dies to reduce its diameter until the outer surface of the resulting cable is substantially smooth, the cross section of the cable is substantially circular, and the overall diameter of the wire rope is reduced by 20-50%.
- the cable is then annealed to remove the effects of cold working, and the resulting cable/wire, with or without a central core, has been found to have an improved flexibility (i.e., a lower modulus of elasticity) relative to single strand nickel-titanium wires of the same diameter.

- a highly flexible nickel-titanium alloy cable 100 is manufactured according to the following method.
- Three strands of nickel-titanium alloy (e.g., Nitinol) wire 102, 104, 106 are twined (tiwsted) together (with no core wire) to form a nickel- titanium alloy wire rope 108.
- the wire rope 108 is pulled through a die 110 using known wire drawing methods and apparatus whereby its diameter is decreased.
- the nickel- titanium alloy wire rope 108 is successively drawn through dies of decreasing diameter. During the drawing process, the wires 102, 104, 106 are plastically deformed.
- the cable 100 assumes a substantially circular cross section as shown in Figure 5, but exhibits increased flexibility relative to single strand nickel-titanium alloy wires of the same cross section as will be discussed in more detail below. If desired, the substantially smooth surface of the cable 100 can be easily insulated with an extruded or co- extruded material.
- the wire rope 108 is successively pulled through multiple dies of decreasing diameter.
- the resulting cable 100 has a diameter which is approximately 20-50% smaller, and preferably at least 30% smaller than the diameter of the wire rope 108.
- Nitinol wire Three strands of .010 inch diameter Nitinol wire were helically twisted at a lay length of approximately .080 inches to form a wire rope of approximately .021" diameter, and fed through successive dies of .019", .018", .016", .014", and .013" diameters to form a Nitinol cable. After each die, it was noticed that the Nitinol cable rebounded to a slightly larger diameter than the diameter of the die. Thus, after the last die, the Nitinol cable was found to have a diameter of .014" rather than .013".
- Nitinol cable was then annealed for approximately one minute at a temperature of approximately 500 °C to remove the effects of cold-working from the cable.
- Pieces of the resulting twisted and drawn Nitinol cable were then subjected to bend radius testing by wrapping pieces of the cables around pins of different diameters and by clamping the cable back on itself with a pair of pliers to simulate a zero-diameter bend. Comparison tests were conducted on .014" diameter Nitinol wires (single strands) . The results of the bend radius testing are set forth in Table 1, with percent recovery calculated according to 7
- the Nitinol cable of the invention exhibited significantly increased flexibility relative to the same diameter Nitinol wire.
- the Nitinol cable appears to be able to be twisted around a pin having a diameter of as little as approximately nine times the diameter of the cable without taking a set (i.e., with substantially 100% recovery), while the Nitinol wire takes a set when twisted around a pin having a diameter of approximately twelve or thirteen times the diameter of the wire.
- the Nitinol cable recovers over 90% when twisted around a pin having a diameter of only approximately two times the diameter of the cable, while the Nitinol wire will bend approximately ninety degrees when similarly twisted.
- the recoverable elastic strain of the Nitinol cable is significantly lower than the recoverable elastic strain of the Nitinol wire. Furthermore, it is believed that the Nitinol cable of the invention exhibits high elastic characteristics prior to entering the stress-induced martensite phase.
- Nitinol cable Three strands of .006 inch diameter Nitinol wire were twisted at a lay length of approximately .080 inches to form a wire rope of approximately .013" diameter, and fed through successive dies of .011", .010", .009", .008", and .007" diameters to form a Nitinol cable. After each die, it was noticed that the Nitinol cable rebounded to a slightly larger diameter than the diameter of the die. Thus, after the last die, the Nitinol cable was found to have a diameter of .008" rather than .007".
- Nitinol cable was then annealed for approximately one minute at a temperature of approximately 500 °C to remove the effects of cold-working from the cable.
- Pieces of the resulting twisted and drawn Nitinol cable were then subjected to bend radius testing by wrapping pieces of the cables around pins of different diameters and by clamping the cable back on itself with a pair of pliers to simulate a zero-diameter bend. Comparison tests were conducted on .008" diameter Nitinol wires
- the Nitinol cable of the invention exhibited significantly increased flexibility relative to the same diameter Nitinol wire.
- the Nitinol cable appears to be able to recover 99% or more when twisted around a pin having a diameter of only approximately six times the diameter of the cable, while the Nitinol wire loses that capability with a pin twice that diameter (i.e., twelve times the diameter of the cable) .
- the Nitinol cable when clamped with pliers to simulate an zero diameter bend, recovered over 93%, while the Nitinol wire took a set of more than ninety degrees .
- NiTi cable Three strands of .005 inch diameter nickel-titanium alloy (50%-50%) wire are helically twisted at a lay length of approximately .042 inches to form a wire rope of approximately .011" diameter, and fed through successive dies of .0100", .0090", .0080", .0075” and .0070" diameters to form a NiTi cable. After the last die, the NiTi cable has a diameter of approximately .0080". The so-formed NiTi cable is then annealed for approximately one minute at a temperature of approximately 500 °C to remove the effects of cold-working from the cable, and the resulting cable exhibits extremely favorable flexibility characteristics. In addition, because there is no core wire, the .0080" cable may be ground down as desired.
- a portion of the .0080" cable may be tapered and terminate in a tip section of e.g., .0040" or .0025" or otherwise.
- a portion of the .0080" cable may be ground without tapering to form a tip section of desired diameter.

After the last die, the NiTi cable has a diameter of approximately .021". The so- formed NiTi cable is then annealed for approximately seventy-five seconds at a temperature of approximately 500 °C to remove the effects of cold-working from the cable, and the resulting cable exhibits extremely favorable flexibility characteristics.
- Nitinol wire Two strands of .010" and two strands of .005" Nitinol wire are twisted together (with the .005" strands between the .010" strands) at a lay length of approximately .080 inches to form a wire rope of approximately .020" diameter, and fed through successive dies of .018", .016", .014", .012", and .011" diameters to form a Nitinol cable. After the last die, the Nitinol cable has a round cross section with a diameter of approximately .012". The so-formed Nitinol cable is then annealed for approximately sixty seconds at a temperature of approximately 500 °C to remove the effects of cold-working from the cable, and the resulting cable exhibits extremely favorable flexibility characteristics.
