The basis of the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (SMA) class is the intermetallic equiatomic binary alloy NiTi. Its moderate solubility range allows its composition to be changed, and also enables ...

The global shape memory materials market is expanding rapidly, driven by advancements in shape memory alloys (SMAs), shape memory polymers (SMPs), and emerging shape memory ceramics (SMCs). These ...

Alfa Chemistry, an active player in the scientific sector, has recently announced the release of new copper alloys, nickel alloys, and titanium alloys. Copper alloys are prized for their excellent ...

Implants made of nickel-titanium alloy were evaluated in a long-term study. Results indicate that the release of nickel from wires made of nickel-titanium alloys is very low, even over long periods of ...

Researchers from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University have used an Artificial Intelligence Materials Selection framework (AIMS) to discover a new shape memory ...

Nickel alloy 80A is a wrought, age-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy strengthened by additions of carbon, aluminum and titanium. It has high tensile and creep-rupture properties at temperatures of up ...

Jena (Germany) A trousers button, a coin or a watch can be dangerous for people with a nickel allergy. Approximately 1 in 10 Germans is allergic to the metal. "This raises the question of the safety ...
