Nitinol is a type of metal wire made of nickel and titanium that is also known as “memory wire”, because it can remember its former shape and transition back to it with a temperature change.

So what’s so cool about nitinol that it’s worth playing ... All the ones that are made for superelasticity have to be used in a 40-50C range above their transition temperature for the effect ...

When cooled below a set temperature, nitinol's austenite structure transforms to its martensite phase and has a plastic, deformed shape. The nitinol alloy will hold its deformed shape until it is ...

Using heat-activated nitinol metal, researchers have devised a reversible, ... The transition temperature of the NiTi SMA can be tuned to actuate at higher temperatures such as 60°C.

Nitinol: The strange, bendable alloy that could help fight climate change Scientists in Cambridge, Ont. have found a way to generate clean power using a metal designed for the cones of nuclear ...

Nitinol Engine. Description: A heat engine consisting of a loop of Nitinol wire running on two pulleys. When the smaller pulley is dipped into a cup of hot water the loop of wire rotates. We have a ...
