Nitinol Grade 2 Sheet / Plate Manufacturer and Supplier in India

Q: Is Nitinol Grade 2 suitable for medical applications?

Nitinol sheets can be used for medical applications such as stents, orthodontic components, and surgical instruments where flexibility, shape recovery, and superelastic behaviour are required. Nitinol Grade 2 is not an official Nitinol designation, so the required material specification should be confirmed before use.

Q: What is the difference between a Nitinol sheet and Titanium Grade 2?

Nitinol sheet is a nickel titanium alloy typically containing approximately 54.5 to 57.0 wt% nickel, with titanium making up the balance. Titanium Grade 2 is commercially pure titanium with a different chemical composition and set of properties. The two materials should not be specified interchangeably.

Q: What thicknesses is the Nitinol sheet available in?

Nitinol sheets are available from 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm for this product range. Other thicknesses may be available according to the application, material condition, and manufacturing requirements.

Q: Can a Nitinol sheet be supplied with a specific transformation temperature?

Yes. Nitinol sheets can be supplied to a specified transformation temperature when required by the application. The achievable transformation temperature depends on the material composition, processing, material condition, and applicable testing requirements.

Q: What standard is used for the Nitinol sheet?

ASTM F2063 covers wrought nickel titanium shape memory alloy products. ASTM F2004 is used for determining transformation temperatures of nickel titanium alloys by thermal analysis, while ASTM E8/E8M provides test methods for tension testing of metallic materials.
