Nitinol wire that used in medical field

Till now,there are more than 20 types of alloys with memory effects, but only nickel-titanium (TiNi) shape memory alloys have prospects for medical development. Nickel-titanium shape memory alloy not only has peculiar shape memory effect, superelasticity and excellent wear resistance, but also has good corrosion resistance and histocompatibility.

It can be used for making glasses frames,archwires, medical instruments

and human implants.
