Product Description
Nitinol tubing is widely acclaimed for its exceptional material properties that make it a versatile engineering solution. Its main advantages include:
Superelasticity - Nitinol tubing can withstand extreme deformation without damage, and readily recover its original shape.
This remarkable elasticity makes it highly suitable for applications requiring flexible, compliant materials.
Shape Memory Effect - Nitinol tubing can be precisely formed into complex shapes and configurations, and will automatically revert to its original shape when heated.
This unique memory function opens up vast design possibilities for engineers.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance - Nitinol forms a protective oxide layer on its surface, enabling it to maintain reliable performance even in harsh environments.
These outstanding material characteristics have made Nitinol tubing a preferred choice across diverse industries, from medical devices to aerospace.
Leveraging its exceptional flexibility, shape memory, and corrosion resistance, Nitinol can provide innovative solutions for a wide range of specialized applications.

Product Parameters
Nitinol, the renowned shape memory alloy, is primarily composed of:
- Nickel (Ni): 50-55%
- Titanium (Ti): 45-50%
This near-equal ratio of nickel to titanium is the foundation of Nitinol's exceptional shape memory and superelastic properties.
Beyond this base composition, small amounts of other elements like copper, iron, aluminum, or chromium can be added to fine-tune Nitinol's characteristics for specific applications.
This flexibility to precisely engineer the Nitinol composition is a key advantage, allowing it to be optimized for diverse industries, from medical devices to aerospace.
By adjusting the elemental makeup, engineers can create customized Nitinol formulations to deliver the exact performance required for high-performance products and systems.
