Engineered Hysteresis Control for Actuators and Sensors
Product Summary
These nitinol wire variants incorporate third elements (Copper or Niobium) to control thermal hysteresis. NiTiCu offers narrow hysteresis for precise actuation, while NiTiNb provides wide hysteresis for stable mechanical damping. Ideal for temperature control components, sensors, and robotics.
Key Selling Points
Narrow Hysteresis (NiTiCu): As-Ms≤5°C enables precise response to temperature changes.
Wide Hysteresis (NiTiNb): As-Ms≤150°C allows stable operation over large temperature swings.
Customizable Af: Transformation temperature can be tailored to application requirements.
ASTM F2063 Compliance: Meets international medical and engineering standards.
Full Traceability: Each batch tested in ISO/IEC 17025 labs.

FAQ
Q1: What is hysteresis in nitinol wire?
The difference between transformation temperatures on heating and cooling. It affects response to temperature changes.
Q2: Which alloy is best for precision actuators?
NiTiCu with narrow hysteresis is preferred for precise, rapid actuation.
Q3: Can you provide custom Af points?
Yes, Af can be customized within ranges, typically controlled to ±10°C.
Q4: What standards are followed?
ASTM F2063 is the primary standard, with ISO 13485 for medical applications.
Q5: Are these wires suitable for medical use?
Yes, they can be used in medical devices where specific hysteresis is required, but confirm biocompatibility.
