Sachin Steel Product Banner_22 Sept_007

Nitinol Grade 5 is a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy classification of material found in some manufacturer-specific Nitinol numbering systems. It is chosen for use in materials that have controlled transformation temperatures, shape recovery, flexibility and consistent performance on actuation. Whereas the Ti-6Al-4V alloy is widely recognized as an ASTM and UNS standardized alloy, the properties of Nitinol Grade 5 vary from one manufacturer to another based on the composition of the alloy and the manufacturer’s thermal processing. It comes in wire, rod, tube, sheet and custom forms and can be provided for medical, actuator, aerospace and industrial use. Sachin Steel Centre is a reputed manufacturer and supplier of Nitinol Grade 5 in India, providing traceable grade materials, with Mill Test Certificates, as well as customized Nitinol product with specified transformation temperature requirements.
