2.Introduction of nitinol
Nitinol is counted among the most useful metal alloys with numerous industrial and medical applications.
It is often the best choice for many applications that require enormous motion and flexibility.
Many people will ask what is Nitinol?
It is a nickel- titanium metal alloy with some unique properties.It contains 55% Nickel and 45% Titanium.
It is also known as Nickel titanium.
The shape memory and superelasticity properties are the most unique properties of this alloy.
The shape memory property allows this metal to “remember” its original shape and retain it when heated above its transformation-temperature.
It happens due to the different crystal structures of nickel and titanium.
This pseudo-elastic metal also shows incredible elasticity which is approximately 10 to 30 times more than that of any ordinary metal.
