Nitinols are widely used in medical devices, aerospace, electronic equipment, and automotive industries and are known for their unique functions and excellent performance. Nickel-titanium alloy, also known as memory alloy, is hailed as a breakthrough in materials science because of its memory effect and superelasticity.
First, the memory effect of nitinol wire allows them to return to a preset shape when heated, a feature that is particularly important in medical devices. For example, in the application of cardiac stents, nickel-titanium alloy stents can be compressed at low temperatures to facilitate implantation in the body, and then returned to the form of supporting blood vessels at body temperature, which greatly improves the success rate of the operation and the patient's recovery speed.
Secondly, the superelastic properties of nickel-titanium alloy wire enable it to recover quickly after deformation without permanent deformation. This property makes it extremely durable and reliable in aerospace and electronic equipment. Especially in high-vibration or high-pressure environments, NiTi wire can withstand repeated stress cycles without losing their mechanical properties.
In addition, Nitinol has good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for use in the medical field. Nitinol wire can not only contact biological tissue for a long time without rejection but also maintain stable performance in humid and corrosive environments.
In summary, Nitinol wire, with their excellent memory effect, super-elasticity, durability, and biocompatibility, have become ideal choices for various demanding applications and have promoted the development and innovation of multiple industries.
