Nitinol Wire

Category:

Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc. manufactures nitinol wire (nickel-titanium alloy wire) from various grades of nickel-titanium alloy commonly used in medical applications as well for other various applications.

Nitinol is a metal alloy, that exhibits two closely related and unique properties: shape memory and superelasticity. We provide nitinol wire with both properties.

Superelastic wire

Medical grade nitinol material comprises nickel and titanium in nearly equal atomic weight percentages; per ASTM F2063, nickel content of 54.5-57 wt% is specified for use in surgical implants. Nitinol material with different compositions and phase transformation temperatures can be used for other applications.

Thin/Fine Shape Memory Wire

We provide nitinol round wire, and flat wire with different Af (-10°C to 120°C). We now have the capacity of making the wire maintain super-elasticity at -10°C. This wire can be made into spring.

The finest wire we can make for muscle wire (also called shape memory actuator wire) is

0.02mm, nitinol muscle wire is an important part of robotics applications.

Nitinol fishing wire is a superelastic alloy that can be stretched over ten times the length of ordinary steel leaders without permanent deformation. Any experienced angler knows the frustration of a kinked leader.

Sometimes it seems like the steel leader is only good for one catch, after which the wire is out of commission from bends and kinks. No one wants to re-tie or change rigs on a rocking boat when you could be fishing! Now you can cast your bait back in the water and catch another! With our fishing wire, your day starts and ends with the same leader. We can provide Af=-10℃ or even lower nitinol (Nickel titanium alloy) wire for low-temperature fishing.
