Nitinol Wire Heat Resistance & Specifications (Industry Standard for Independent Station)
Core definition: The material of nitinol wires heat resistant (nickel-titanium) is a shape memory and superelastic alloy; its heat resistance is classified according to specifications - not all have high heat resistance, and is strictly limited by the phase transition temperature (Af) and working temperature.
1. Core Heat Resistance Conclusion
Safe continuous working temperature: -50℃ ~ 150℃
Loss of shape memory function: >300℃
Material permanent damage (brittle/fracture): >500℃
Melting point: ~1310℃ (only structural melting temperature, no practical application value)

表格
| Wire Diameter | Transformation Grade (Af) | Max Safe Working Temp | Heat Resistance Performance | Typical Industry Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Φ0.1mm ~ Φ0.3mm | 15℃ (Low Temp) | 80℃ | Soft below 15℃; rigid above 15℃; not resistant to high temp | Micro-robot, precision actuator, smart wearable |
| Φ0.1mm ~ Φ0.3mm | 40℃ / 60℃ (Normal) | 120℃ | Stable shape memory; mild heat resistance | Medical catheter, precision switch, smart glasses frame |
| Φ0.3mm ~ Φ1.0mm | 80℃ (Medium Temp) | 150℃ | Best heat resistance in conventional grades | Industrial valve, automotive sensor, aerospace component |
| Φ1.0mm ~ Φ3.0mm | 40℃ / 60℃ / 80℃ | 120℃ ~ 150℃ | High strength; heat resistance consistent with grade | Mechanical connector, anti-loose structure, heavy-duty actuator |
| Custom Diameter | -50℃ ~ 100℃ (Custom) | 80℃ ~ 150℃ | Tailored heat resistance & activation temp | Medical implant, special equipment, military component |
3. Independent Station Key Selling Points
Grade-defined heat resistance: Different specifications match different temperature environments, no universal type.
Ultra-fine to thick specifications complete: Φ0.1mm–Φ3.0mm in stock, support custom processing.
Shape memory + superelasticity dual performance: Stable within safe temperature range.
Clear application boundaries: Avoid misapplication in high-temperature scenes above 150℃.
4. Buyer Prompt
Nitinol wire is not high-temperature alloy; cannot be used in scenes above 300℃ for a long time.
Selection priority: Working temperature → Transformation grade → nitinol wires heat resistant Wire diameter.
