Guangdong Metal Corporation is a leading Nitinol Wire for Lead Frames manufacturer and supplier.
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have been considered as one of the most promising smart materials. They can provide novel solution in several fields, for various applications (e.g. actuator, biomedical application, clamping systems, ect.). Shape Memory Alloys demonstrate a unique ability to recover their initial shape after deformation through a reversible thermo-elastic phase transformation, it allows Shape Memory Alloys to recover large strains, either spontaneously (pseudo elasticity) or through an increase in temperature (Shape Memory Effect). Among the commercially available Shape Memory Alloys, nickel–titanium (Ni–Ti and Ni–Ti based) ones are outstanding due to their excellent performance and reliability, in addition to strain recovery, Ni–Ti is attractive for several medical applications due to its biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and fatigue behavior..
Near-atomic ratio of Ti-Ni alloy was the first material to be used as a shape-memory alloy. Due to its excellent shape memory function, good heat and corrosion resistance, high strength, unique thermal and fatigue resistance, high biocompatibility and high damping characteristics, it is widely used in many fields..

Technical Information of Nitinol Wire:
Shape-memory alloys are typically made by casting, using vacuum arc melting or induction melting. These are specialist techniques used to keep impurities in the alloy to a minimum and ensure the metals are well mixed. The ingot is then hot rolled into longer sections and then drawn to turn it into wire.
The way in which the alloys are "trained" depends on the properties wanted. The "training" dictates the shape that the alloy will remember when it is heated. This occurs by heating the alloy so that the dislocations re-order into stable positions, but not so hot that the material recrystallizes. They are heated to between 400 °C and 500 °C for 30 minutes, shaped while hot, and then are cooled rapidly by quenching in water or by cooling with air.
Packing of Nitinol Wire:
Guangdong Metal Products are packed and labeled according to the regulations and customer's requests. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation. In addition, clear labels are tagged on the outside of the packages for easy identification of the product I. D. and quality information.

How does nitinol wire work?
Nitinol, short for nickel-titanium, is a unique alloy known for its shape memory and superelastic properties. These properties are attributed to its ability to undergo reversible phase transformations when subjected to temperature changes or mechanical stress.
The shape memory effect of Nitinol allows it to "remember" and recover its original shape after being deformed. When the alloy is cooled below its transition temperature, it becomes easily deformable. However, upon heating, it reverts to its original shape, exhibiting its shape memory property. This characteristic makes Nitinol ideal for applications where controlled and reversible shape changes are required.
In addition to its shape memory effect, Nitinol also possesses superelasticity. This means that it can undergo significant deformation without permanent damage and then return to its original shape when the stress is released. Nitinol's superelasticity is a result of its unique crystal structure, which allows it to undergo reversible martensitic transformations under stress.
