10 best nitinol wire

Product description

Nitinol, also known as Ni-Ti is one of several shape memory alloys available. The shape memory effect comes from the mixture of nickel and titanium transferring between the martensite and austenite phases of crystal structure. Basically, what this looks like is you have a wire that you can straighten, bend into any shape, mash, etc. and then place it in hot water to watch it come back to its original shape. The uses for this are endless. These make wonderful magic tricks for when you dunk the wire into someone's coffee, the wire turns into the card that they have in their hand. They're great for birthday parties to see your child's amazement when this simple piece of wire turns into their name when someone 'accidentally' spills coffee on it. Other uses include robotics, heat engines, science projects, practical jokes, artery stents for a bypass surgery, the only limitation is your creativity.

• Standard Temp transition temperature (115°F/45°C)
• Heavy Duty wire 0.020" (0.5mm)
• Annealed to be generally straight
• 5 feet of wire per package

Product description

5 feet (1.5 meters) of 1mm diameter Nitinol SMA (shape memory alloy) wire. One of our favorites due to a comfortable warm, not-too-hot transition phase. This wire will become rigid and return to straight when exposed to temperatures above 40 C (hot water, lighter, heat gun, etc). Yes - it comes pre-trained STRAIGHT from the factory which is how you want it. You can re-train it if you want by heating it (500 C for 45 minutes) in the new desired shape. The wire has a lustrous titanium color (dark grey) with a bluish oxide tint on its surface. When freshly cut, the inner core is nickel white. Nitinol is very abrasion resistant and has self-healing properties, so the wire is quite hard to cut and kink. It feels very smooth and shiny to the touch. It does not require any special handling or protections from oxidation or moisture, and is non-toxic. Do not over heat it, as that will damage the property. If you are using electricity instead of hot water to activate it be sure to use a current limiting circuit.

• Trained straight - the wire is very soft and pliable at room temperatures, and becomes stiff and straightens out at a very low heat point of 40C (about 100F), making it suitable for demonstrations without getting burned.
• 1.0 mm (0.04") diameter is very thick, this wire can hold or pull many pounds of weight and it is virtually unbreakable.
• Wire can be trained to take on a different shape by heat treating it at 500C and quenching in water.
• Thick, strong & smooth - black oxide finish is shiny and low friction, with a mysterious sheen.

Product description

Nitinol Memeory Wire is a Shaped Memory Effect (SME). The alloy can be made to remember a particular shape. Once a shape has been remembered, the alloy may be bent out of shape. Then returned to its original shape by heating the alloy about it transition temperature. This SME property is used in a toy called Memory Wire. You can bend the Memory Wire toy into any shape you want, then place it in hot water and the wire quickly whips itself back into shape. It is interesting to watch this wire almost magically unfold and uncoil itself back into its original shape. The Memory Wire toy is made of nitinol wire with a low transition temperature (the temperature of hot water). The force generated when the wire is reverting is surprisingly strong. One square inch of Nitinol material generates a shape returning force of + 30,000 PSI.

• Nitinol Memory Wire
• 12" length by 0.03" diameter (.75mm)
• Demonstrates the Shaped Memory Effect (SME)
• Fun and educational! You can bend it while cold, then heat it in hot water, and it will straighten quite forcefully.
• All of our products are unconditionally guaranteed for 30 Days. If for any reason you are not satisfied, you may return it for a refund or replacement.

Product description

This wire will become rigid and return to straight when exposed to temperatures above 40ºC (barely hot water, lighter, heat gun, etc). Yes - it comes pre-trained STRAIGHT from the factory which is how you want it. You can re-train it if you want by heating it to elevated temperatures (150-250ºC) in the new desired shape. The wire has a lustrous titanium color (dark grey) with a bluish oxide tint on its surface. When freshly cut, the inner core is nickel white. Nitinol is very abrasion resistant and has self-healing properties, so the wire is quite hard to cut and kink. It feels very smooth and shiny to the touch. It does not require any special handling or protections from oxidation or moisture, and is non-toxic. Do not over heat it, as that will damage the property. If you are using electricity instead of hot water to activate it be sure to use a current limiting circuit. Sold by the foot; quantity of 1 corresponds to 12 inches or 31 cm.
