Shape Memory Alloy SMA Nitinol with Shape Memory and
Superelasticity
Nitinol combines two closely related unique characteristics: shape
memory and superelasticity. Shape memory gives Nitinol the ability
to be deformed at one temperature, and then return to its original
shape when being heated to its transformation temperature. This
effect is caused by the material changing from its low temperature
monoclinic martensitic structure to the high temperature cubic
austenitic structure. Transformation temperatures in our finished
Nitinol wire range from -15°C to +22°C, depending on the grade of
Nitinol used.
The VIM + VAR nitinol melting process was established in 1990
through extensive superalloy experience to provide premium,
repeatable quality by combining the advantages of VIM (homogeneity)
and VAR (structure). This mature process continues today,
outputting several hundred thousand pounds of clean, consistent
material every year.
Shape memory Nitinol wire can be used to develop implants that may
be delivered into the body in a compact shape and then activated
into their functional form once they have been deployed.
Appications
- Temperature control systems: as it changes shape, it can open or
close a valve, activate a switch or a variable resistor to control
the temperature.
- Demonstration model heat engines have been built which use SMA to
produce mechanical energy from hot and cold heat sources.
- Aeronautical market: design of adaptive structures to control flaps
or the chevron shape during taking off and landing phases.
- Actuators for automotive industry, such as latch mechanisms for
doors and appendixes, air valves, adaptive structures, etc.
- Actuators for autofocus mechanisms in cameras.
- Triggering actuators for aerospace applications, especially in
hold-down and release mechanisms in charge of deploying structures
and appendixes in satellites.
- Healthcare: active implants, valves, catheters…
