Frequently Asked Questions

No. Nitinol is a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy, while Titanium Grade 5 is Ti 6Al 4V. Titanium Grade 5 is a different alloy and does not provide the same shape memory and superelastic behaviour associated with Nitinol.

Nitinol Grade 5 is not a general ASTM grade designation for nickel titanium. Nitinol is normally specified by its applicable material specification, chemical composition, transformation characteristics, and material condition. ASTM F2063 26 is an important specification for applicable wrought nickel titanium shape memory alloy products.

Nitinol Grade 5 Sheet / Plate is a search term used for flat nickel-titanium material. Buyers using this term should confirm that they require Nitinol rather than Titanium Grade 5, because Titanium Grade 5 refers to Ti-6Al-4V.

Nitinol sheets are used for specialised medical, dental, aerospace, robotics, electronics, industrial automation and precision engineering applications where shape recovery, superelasticity, flexibility and corrosion resistance are required.

The terms sheet and plate generally describe flat product thickness categories, but the exact distinction depends on the governing specification and purchaser requirement. For Nitinol, the applicable standard and required dimensions should be confirmed before ordering.

Sachin Steel Centre offers a broader range of Nitinol products for applications requiring shape memory and superelastic characteristics.
