Round Nitinol Wire by Kellogg's Research Labs

Our nitinol round wire is produced by cold drawing through a circular die, available in short lengths or full spools. Drawn, not rolled, ensures high flexibility and ease of winding into intricate shapes. Heat treatments can set permanent shapes and modify thermal and mechanical properties. We supply black oxide and polished surface finishes, with numerous others available upon request. Nitinol round wires have extensive applications, from actuators and springs to shape-changing art. Transition temperatures range from 0-10°C (superelastic) to 80°C, with varying effects at different temperatures. Alloys include NiTi, NiTiCu, and NiTiFe, each with unique properties.

• Manufacturing Process: Our nitinol round wire is cold drawn through a circular die, available in short lengths or complete spools. This process makes it highly flexible and easy to wind into complex shapes. Heat treatments can set a permanent shape and modify thermal and mechanical properties. We supply it with black oxide and polished surface finishes, but other finishes are available upon request
• Versatile Applications: Nitinol round wires can be used in a wide variety of applications, including actuators, springs, and even shape changing art. The possibilities are limitless with our round wire
• Transition Temperatures: - SuperElastic: 0-10°C, Springy and superelastic at room temperature - Air Temp (20°C): Soft in cool environments, changes to set shape at room temperature - Body Temp (35°C): Soft in cool environments, changes to set shape when held in hands - Standard Temp (45°C): Soft at room temperature, changes to set shape when heated to 45°C and above - High Temp (80°C): Soft at room temperature, changes to set shape when heated to 80°C and above
