Nitinol is a nickel-titanium alloy known for its unique properties, including shape memory and superelasticity. The name "Nitinol" comes from its composition (Nickel and Titanium) and the location of its discovery (Naval Ordnance Laboratory).
Applications:
Medical Devices: Commonly used in stents, catheters, and guidewires due to their flexibility and shape memory properties.
Robotics: Employed in actuators and robotic systems where lightweight, adaptable materials are required.
Aerospace: Used in applications needing lightweight tubing that can withstand extreme conditions and return to a specific shape.
Consumer Products: Found in various products like eyeglass frames and flexible tubing for specialized applications.

Hyperelasticity:
Nitinol exhibits hyperelasticity, meaning it can undergo large strains and return to its original shape upon unloading. This property is particularly useful in applications that require flexibility and resilience, such as medical devices.
Damping:
Nitinol has good damping characteristics, which means it can absorb and dissipate energy. This property is advantageous in applications where vibration reduction is essential, such as in automotive or aerospace components.
Resistive:
Nitinol has a relatively high electrical resistivity compared to other metals. This property can be beneficial in applications involving electrical heating or sensors.
Shape Memory:
One of the most remarkable features of Nitinol is its shape memory effect. When deformed at a lower temperature, it can return to its pre-deformed shape upon heating above a certain transition temperature. This is utilized in various applications, including actuators and stents.
