NT4453 Nickel Titanium (Nitinol) Alloy Powder (NiTi)

Nickel Titanium (Nitinol) Alloy Powder (NiTi) Description

Nickel Titanium (Nitinol) Alloy Powder (NiTi) has the characteristics of the controllable composition, high sphericity, good fluidity, low oxygen content, few satellite balls, and a fully dense particle interior. Nitinol is a shape-memory alloy with the advantages of shape memory, super elasticity, corrosion resistance, toxicity resistance, gentle orthodontic force, and good shock absorption properties. It is widely used in biomedical, aerospace, national defense, and other fields.

Super elasticity is closely related to the shape memory effect. The main difference is the environmental temperature. Nitinol shows super elasticity if the ambient temperature is above the transition temperature. If below the transition temperature, it shows a shape memory effect.
