Mechanical properties of niobium titanium capillaries compared with other materials

The mechanical properties of niobium titanium capillaries have significant advantages over other materials:
• High strength and good plasticity: Niobium titanium alloy capillaries not only have high strength, but also excellent plasticity, showing excellent mechanical properties, which makes them widely used in medical, chemical, aviation and other fields.

• Superior to most traditional metal materials: Compared with steel, titanium alloys (including niobium titanium alloys) have lower density (about 43% lighter), but comparable mechanical strength, and several times higher than the strength of aluminum and magnesium, with high specific strength and good rigidity.

• Good corrosion resistance and high and low temperature resistance: Niobium titanium capillaries have excellent corrosion resistance and the ability to maintain good mechanical properties in high temperature (450-500℃) and low temperature environments, which makes them suitable for structural parts in complex environments.

• Biocompatibility and memory effect: Niobium titanium alloy capillaries also have good biocompatibility and shape memory effect, suitable for medical devices such as stents and catheters, which are characteristics that many traditional materials do not have.

In summary, niobium-titanium capillaries are superior to most traditional metal materials in terms of strength, plasticity, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, and are particularly suitable for application scenarios that require high-performance mechanical properties and special functions.
