We have used fluctuations in electrical resistivity or "noise" in nickel titanium shape memory alloys in three different forms: a thin film exhibiting well-defined transition temperatures, a highly disordered film, and a bulk wire of rectangular cross-section.
Initially he considered making piano strings from Flexinol, a nickel-titanium shape memory wire, which flexes in specific ways in response to temperature changes.
Here, our recent research work on plasma modification of orthopedic nickel-titanium shape memory alloys and cardiovascular materials, namely diamond-like carbon is described.
A half-scale interior beam-column connection incorporating superelastic nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (SMA) tendons was designed, fabricated, and tested to assess the feasibility of such a connection in a moment-resisting frame.
Titanium-nickel (TiNi) shape memory alloys (SMAs) are used in the form of coil springs in most products because the coil springs generate a large stroke and a high recovery force.
A closed coil spring made of nickel-titanium shape memory wire of 200 g force was applied to the second and third premolars in a buccolingual direction).
Nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi-SMA) implants might allow modulating fracture healing, changing their stiffness through alteration of both elastic modulus and cross-sectional shape by employing the shape memory effect (SME).
Plates were constructed using a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy with a nominal composition of 49.8 to 50.0% Ni (rest: Ti) and an intermediate transformation temperature (A f ~ 55°C, Memry GmbH, Weil am Rhein, Germany).
Shape memory alloy (SMA) staples in nickel titanium with shape memory effect are effective for spinal growth control.
Nickel titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy is a unique material displaying the shape memory effect and superelastic property making it attractive to the orthopedic field.
It generates optimal and constant pressure which is a consequence of nickel titanium's shape memory and effects of transition temperature.
