What is Nitinol?

Nitinol naturally switches between two phases: Martensite, which is soft and flexible at lower temperatures, and Austenite, which becomes firm and structured when heated. By setting its shape during production, we allow the material to “remember” that form. When cooled, it bends easily. When warmed again, it snaps back—this is the remarkable Shape Memory Effect.

How Does Nitinol “Remember” Its Shape?

Nitinol changes its internal structure based on temperature. At lower temperatures, it enters the Martensite phase, becoming soft and highly flexible. When heated, it transforms into the Austenite phase, regaining a firm, stable shape. During manufacturing, we program its desired geometry in the Austenite phase. Once cooled, the material can be deformed easily—but with heat, it rapidly returns to its original form.
