Superelastic Nitinol Wire – High-Performance Shape Memory Alloy
In our plant, we make superelastic nitinol wire that bends and stretches far beyond ordinary metals yet always returns to form. Because of this balance of strength and flexibility, it is used in areas as different as surgical tools, aerospace parts, and even everyday products like eyeglass frames.
Material: Superelastic Nitinol
Our wire is manufactured from superelastic nitinol, a nickel–titanium alloy discovered at the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory. The name Nitinol comes from its unique composition—nickel and titanium—and the place of its origin. Two exceptional traits define this alloy—its ability to remember its shape and its remarkable superelastic behavior.
What Makes Superelastic Nitinol Wire Special?
Unlike ordinary metals, nitinol “remembers” its original shape. Once heated, the metal springs back to its original form, no matter how it has been bent or twisted; this property is called the shape memory effect.
Even more impressive is its superelasticity. You can stretch nitinol wire far beyond the limits of regular metals. Once the stress is removed, it snaps back to its exact original shape—instantly and without heat. This unique ability makes superelastic nitinol wire an indispensable material for high-performance applications.
