Brazing Material, Interventional Medical Device, and Joined Assembly

摘要

According to one aspect, an interventional medical device includes a first wire disposed at a distal end and made of an alloy containing Ti and a transition metal other than Ti and Cr, and a second wire disposed at a proximal end of the first wire and made of an alloy containing Cr and a transition metal other than Cr and Ti. The device may include the first wire and the second wire being brazed to each other by a brazing material. The brazing material contains a metal whose ionization tendency is more basic than Ti and Cr. The brazing material is preferably an Ag—Mg alloy or an Ni—Mg alloy, and preferably has a composition near the eutectic point.
