About Nickel Titanium
Nickel titanium, also known as Nitinol, is a metal alloy of nickel and titanium, where the two elements are present in roughly equal atomic percentages e. g. Nitinol 55, Nitinol 60. Nitinol alloys exhibit two closely related and unique properties: shape memory effect and superelasticity.
