Nitinol wire is a high-performance nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (SMA) widely used in medical, industrial, aerospace, and consumer applications. Its unique thermoelastic martensitic transformation gives the material exceptional shape memory effect and superelasticity.

Nitinol offers excellent flexibility, kink resistance, corrosion resistance, and recoverable strain, making it ideal for precision devices and demanding engineering environments.
