are, how they behave, and why they behave differently

than ceramics, glass, and plastics. It is also important to

understand how they can be made stronger or more

corrosion resistant, how they can be shaped by casting,

forging, forming, machining, or welding, and how these

processes can alter properties. This course provides this

important knowledge to those who are not metallurgists.

MEDICAL DEVICES

Stainless Steels, Cobalt Chrome and Titanium Alloys for Medical DevicesCEUs: 1.5

Instructor: Phillip Anderson

This class focuses on most of the key alloys used to

produce medical devices. The material choices for these

demanding applications are limited due to the need for

high mechanical strengths, and long-term corrosion

resistance and biocompatibility. The class provides a

broad background into key aspects of the properties of

these alloys, their mechanical properties, and corrosion

behavior. Methods used to produce these materials are

discussed and the relationship between processing

choices and resultant properties are presented.

September 17-18, 2013Location: ASM Headquarters, Materials Park, OH


Nitinol for Medical Devices CEUs: 1.5

Instructor: Alan R. Pelton, PhD

The unique properties of the shape memory alloy Nitinol

have led to many transformational medical device

innovations, including self-expanding stents,

percutaneously delivered heart valves, kink-resistant

guidewires, and self-locking orthopedic devices. Its

superelastic qualities allow the alloy to withstand large

amounts of recoverable strain, and its potential for excellent

biocompatibility and fatigue resistance make it the material

of choice for some of the most demanding medical device

applications. However, Nitinol’s unique properties are very

dependent upon alloy composition and processing. In this

course, you will learn the variables that affect Nitinol’s

properties, how to control them, and how its unique

properties can be applied in medical devices.



Medical Device Design Validation and Failure AnalysisCEUs: 1.5

Instructor: Brad James, PhD

Provides students with a fundamental understanding of

the design process necessary to make robust medical

devices. Fracture, fatigue, stress analysis, and corrosion

design validation approaches are examined, as well as

failure analysis techniques.

THERMAL SPRAY / NUCLEAR

Thermal Spray Technology CEUs: 1.5

Instructor: Christopher C. Berndt, PhD

Thermal spray technology and coatings solve critical

problems in demanding environments. They provide

“solutions” to engineering needs involving wear, high

temperature and aqueous corrosion, and thermal

regulation and degradation. Thermal spray is being

increasingly used to manufacture net-shapes, advanced

sensors, and materials for the biomedical and energy/

environmental marketing sectors. These and a vast array

of emerging applications take advantage of the rapid and

cost-effective capabilities of thermal spray technology in

the OEM and repair industries. Thermal spray processes;

including twin wire-arc, combustion, high velocity oxy-fuel

(HVOF), cold spray and plasma spray, as well as

associated technologies, can deposit virtually any

material as a surface coating onto a wide range of other

materials. Coating reliability and effectiveness

necessitates that these overlay coatings be selected,

engineered, and applied correctly.


October 30-31, 2013Location: Montreal


Introduction to Thermal Spray CEUs: 1.5

Instructor: Richard Sayman

Thermal spraying has evolved from a technology

designed to be a cost effective method of repairing worn

components and machined parts, to a process used to

provide improved part performance and add longer life to

components. As the thermal spray profession has

changed, so has the need to ensure safe and consistent

methods for thermal spray operators. ASM International

brought together the leaders in the Thermal Spray

Society to compile their knowledge and experience in a

comprehensive, easy to understand course.
