ASTM’s medical and surgical devices committee (F04) is developing a proposed standard for a wrought nickel-titanium alloy. The alloy covered by the proposed standard is commonly referred to as nitinol and is known for its super elasticity and shape memory properties. ASTM member Weimin "Will" Yin says there is currently not a specification to address the requirements for nickel-titanium shape memory alloy wrought sheet and foil. The proposed standard will provide guidance for suppliers and users on sheet manufacturing and components designing of wrought nitinol sheet and foil.

ASTM International began its "Better Together" program at its headquarters in West Conshohocken, PA today. With much of the organization assembled, President Andy Kireta gave opening remarks, thanked the team that organized the event, and introduced keynote speaker Phil Martelli — a basketball legend. In his twenty-four years as head basketball coach at Saint Joseph's University, Martelli built a program that consistently made the postseason in Division 1 Men's Basketball. His inspiring speech to hundreds of ASTM employees set the tone for the day as he focused on: the opportunities we all have to really learn about co-workers and appreciate their strengths; how a great team leads to the success of the individual (not the other way around); and perhaps, most importantly, the power of "thank you" to let your co-workers — your teammates — know how much they are appreciated. The two-day event will continue this afternoon and tomorrow with activities designed to get ASTM staff — who may be working from the office, remotely, or on a hybrid schedule — to come to HQ and learn more about each other, foster teamwork, and realize that they are, indeed, better together. #ASTMproud #bettertogether #teamwork

ASTM International provides standards for a common framework to ensure safety, reliability, and interoperability in aircraft design, manufacturing, and operation. For Diamond Aircraft, ASTM standards have been instrumental in harmonizing traditional aviation practices with the demands of sustainable aviation. https://lnkd.in/eRKX-eN2
