NiTinol Wire
NiTinol alloy wire is a specialty alloy wire with shape memory effect.
NiTinol alloy, also known as nickel-tinol, is a non-magnetic alloy composed of nickel and titanium with near equal atomic weight ratios. This alloy wire is capable of automatically recovering its original shape at a specific temperature, exhibiting a unique shape memory effect, also known as mechanical memory. This effect allows NiTinol alloy wires to "remember" and return to their original shape after plastic deformation by heating to a specific temperature. The principle of this memory effect is based on the phase change properties of NiTinol alloys, whereby the alloy is able to change from one phase to another at a specific temperature, thus restoring its shape.
NiTinol alloy wires are used in a wide range of applications, including vascular stents and orthodontic wires in the medical field, as well as a variety of applications in the aerospace, electronics and automotive industries. Its unique shape memory effect and excellent biocompatibility make it the material of choice for many high-performance applications
