Nitinol - NiTi Shape Memory Alloy; High-Temperature Phase

Categories: Metal; Electronic/Magnetic Alloy; Nonferrous Metal; Nickel Alloy; Titanium Alloy

Material Shape Memory Alloys (SMA's) have the ability to return to a predetermined shape when heated. When an
Notes: SMA is cold, or below its transformation temperature, it has a very low yield strength and can be deformed
quite easily into any new shape--which it will retain. However, when the material is heated above its
transformation temperature it undergoes a change in crystal structure which causes it to return to its original
shape. If the SMA encounters any resistance during this transformation, it can generate extremely large
forces. The most common shape memory material is an alloy of nickel and titanium called Nitinol (50 atom%
Ni, 50 atom% Ti). This particular alloy has very good electrical and mechanical properties, long fatigue life,
and high corrosion resistance.

MatWeb has a separate entry for the low temperature phase of Nitinol.
