Shape memory alloys have vast use in medical applications. Currently it is mainly about the construction of stents or other types of implants. Nowadays, new types of wires with shape memory effect are tested for medical use. These wires are prepared as drawn filled tubes. Drawn filled wires have unique mechanical and physical properties. Specific properties of drawn filled wires arise through a combination of two materials with different physical properties. This article is devoted to fractographical analysis of fatigue fracture process in drawn filled wires made of nitinol with platinium core.
