Straight Nitinol Wire
Material:nitinol alloy Type:straight wire Diameter:1.0-6.0mm Surface:polished/Pickling/black
Product Introduction
Nickel Titanium (also known as Nitinol or NiTi) is a unique class of shape memory alloys (SMA). Its extraordinary properties come from a thermoelastic martensitic phase transformation, which enables both shape memory behavior and superelasticity.
Nitinol alloys typically consist of:
Nickel (Ni): 55% – 56%
Titanium (Ti): 44% – 45%
Even small composition variations can significantly change transformation temperature, mechanical behavior, and functional performance.

Key Properties of Nitinol
Shape Memory Effect
Nitinol can be deformed at low temperature and recover its original shape when heated above its transformation temperature.
Superelasticity
Provides:
Extremely high elastic strain recovery
Excellent kink resistance
Stable cyclic performance
Thermal Sensitivity
Transformation temperatures (Af, Ms, As) can be precisely tuned through composition control.
