Special Metals, focuses on supplying high-quality NITINOL STRIP to worldwide customers at competitive prices. In addition, our Company provides various commercially Shape Memory Alloys in wire, strip, sheet, rod, and other forms.

This Nitinol Strip (nickel-titanium based alloy strip) has a property of select materials that can gain the shape given during original thermo-mechanical processing allowing. In addition, this material is capable of reverting to its original form when subjected to heat.

Nitinol Strips has an excellent shape memory function. Also, it contains good heat and corrosion resistance and provides high strength. 

This material has unique heat and fatigue resistance. At the same time, it contains high biocompatibility and damping properties which are widely used in many fields. The Nitinol Strips contain superelasticity at a lower temperature which is just above its transformation temperature. In that case, there is no need for heating to cause the under-formed shape to recover.

Those strips heat and set into the superelastic situation at the time of manufacturing. Nitinol is a nickel-titanium metal alloy with unique properties, including pseudoelasticity and “shape memory” properties. This means that nitinol can remember its original shape and return to it when heated. These strips also show excellent elasticity under stress. The unique property of Nitinol is its ability to change phases in the occurrence of temperature changes. The two most important phases are known under the terms “martensite” and “austenite”. The Transformation between these two phases is due to heat or mechanical stress, making nitinol a dynamic compound that shows shape memory and superelasticity.
