3. Typical properties of NiTi alloys

3.1 Application properties

Physical properties depend on the structure (table 5 ).

The main physical properties of use are as follows:

• density: 6,450 kg/m ³ ;

• melting temperature: 1,300°C.

• Degradation of memory properties and fatigue

  For general use, please refer to table 6 , which gives the maximum deformation values recoverable by memory effect and the maximum force usable when recovering the high-temperature form, as a function of the...
