摘要： A method of forming a stent includes forming a wave form from a formable material. The wave form includes a plurality of substantially straight portions and a plurality of curved portions, each curved portion connecting adjacent substantially straight portions. The method includes wrapping the wave form around a mandrel at an angle to form a helical coil comprising a plurality of turns, connecting a first curved portion of a first turn to an adjacent second curved portion of a second turn at a position along the wave form to define an end of the stent, and removing excess material from an end of the wave form extending past the first curved portion while smoothing the end of the stent.

摘要： Bending deformation exceeding a yield stress is applied by winding a material on a mandrel. Coiling is performed simultaneously with the application of the bending deformation, and the load is removed after the coiling. This spring includes an outside surface region having a compressive residual stress and a compressive stress reduction region in which the compressive residual stress is reduced from the outside surface region toward the center of the material. A stress change portion at which a change from the compressive residual stress to a tensile residual stress occurs exists between the outside surface region and the center of the material. The spring further includes a tensile stress peak portion, tensile stress reduction region, and inside surface region. The inside surface region has the tensile compressive residual stress having an absolute value smaller than that of the outside surface region.

摘要： A spring manufacturing apparatus comprises a tool support (30, 40, 50) which supports a tool in a way that the tool can be slid toward the spring forming space. A plurality of the tool supports can be arranged in a radial pattern from the spring forming space on the forming table. The apparatus also comprises a driving force transmission unit (70), attached to the tool support on the forming table, which transmits driving force to the tool support for sliding the tool. The tool support includes first and second tool supports for driving a tool by different driving methods. The first tool support (30) comprises a first driving mechanism (32) that transmits driving force of a common driving axis to the tool. The second tool support (40) comprises a second driving mechanism (41) that transmits driving force of the driving axis to the tool.
