Nitinol Wire

Key Advantages

  • SE or SME options: choose constant-force superelastic wire, or shape-set wire for triggered actuation.
  • Tight Af / R-phase control for consistent performance across heats and lots.
  • Fine diameters and tight tolerances enable compact mechanisms and orthodontic components.
  • Clean, oxide-controlled surfaces support bonding, coating and joining processes.
  • Flexible supply: coils/spools or straight cut lengths; small-batch prototyping available.

Primary Applications

  • Orthodontic & guide systems (arches, springs, torque elements).
  • Mini-actuators & robotics (thermal triggers, compact motion).
  • Fixtures & clamps (constant-force holding, vibration tolerance).
  • Research & prototyping (function-testing of SE/SME elements).

Testing & Inspection (typical on request)

  • Transformation temperature testing (DSC or bend-and-free recovery).
  • Tensile and cyclic fatigue sampling by size/condition.
  • Surface/defect inspection; eddy-current continuity checks (size-dependent).
  • Chemical analysis (Ni content, low interstitials).
  • Dimensional checks: OD, ovality, straightness/coil uniformity.

Product Description

LuminaTitan supplies precision nitinol (nickel-titanium, NiTi) wire engineered for repeatable superelastic (SE) and shape-memory (SME) behavior. Produced under controlled thermo-mechanical processing and inspected in-house, our NiTi wire delivers consistent transformation temperatures, stable cyclic response and corrosion resistance for medical R&D and high-precision industrial applications.

*Regulatory compliance and final device approvals remain the responsibility.

Functional Properties (indicative)

Values depend on grade, diameter and condition; verify to your drawing/specification.

Property Superelastic (SE) Shape-Memory (SME) Notes
Recoverable strain Up to 6–8% Up to 4–6% after activation Small radii possible; size/finish dependent
Ultimate tensile strength 900–1600 MPa 800–1400 MPa Typical ranges; verify per order
Fatigue behavior >10^6 cycles at small strain Application-dependent Process and surface sensitive
Transformation Af 10–25 °C typical Custom (e.g., 30–60 °C) Af window set per order

Packaging & Delivery

  • Packaging: vacuum/moisture-barrier wrap on spools or straight bundles; export plywood cases.
  • Labeling: alloy, diameter, condition, Af target (if applicable), heat/lot, coil weight/length, PO.
  • Shipping: global courier or sea freight; lead times aligned with your production schedule.

Compliance & Handling

RoHS/REACH statements available. Store clean and dry; avoid chloride contamination and contact with carbon steel. Use dedicated tooling to preserve surface integrity. Welding of NiTi requires specialized procedures (e.g., laser); validate joints for your application.
