Summary
• Quantification of surface finish variation throughout a collection of suppliers was assessed via SEM and roughness measurements
• Large variation in incoming surface quality observed across the different suppliers and incoming surface finishes
• The same electropolishing process works for a broad range of nitinol materials and results in a smoother surface
• Overall, incoming condition was less critical to the final EP condition • However, incoming condition may be important to processing wire prior to
EP (i.e. winding wire over fixtures) • Smoother surfaces from suppliers may allow for a reduction in material
removed during EP
