TABLE III.

Average Breakdown Potential and Standard Deviation (mV) per Alloy and Condition (n = 6 for Each Condition)

	As Received	High Strain Fatigue	Short-Term Soak	Low Strain Fatigue	Long-Term Soak
316 LVM	972 ± 68	950 ± 93	1000 ± 0	945 ± 61	1000 ± 0
MP35N	1000 ± 0	1000 ± 0	1000 ± 0	1000 ± 0	939 ± 149
EP nitinol	1000 ± 0	1000 ± 0	1000 ± 0	1000 ± 0	1000 ± 0
MP nitinol	928 ± 175	1000 ± 0	784 ± 354	1000 ± 0	1000 ± 0
BO nitinol	−52 ± 9	−57 ± 5	−39 ± 10	460 ± 27	428 ± 61

With the exception of BO nitinol, each material, and condition contains censored data when no breakdown occurred and breakdown potential was assumed to be 1000 mV.
