Nitinol Tube Description
Nitinol Tube is a specialized alloy composed of nickel (55%) and titanium (45%), known for its remarkable shape memory and superelasticity properties. This tube is commonly used in medical devices, robotics, and other advanced technological applications. Upon heating or cooling, the Nitinol Tube returns to its pre-programmed shape, offering immense versatility in design and function. In addition, its unique superelastic characteristics allow it to withstand significant deformation while retaining its original form, making it an ideal material for critical applications requiring flexibility and reliability.
