There are various specifications and sizes of nickel titanium monofilaments, and the following is a detailed introduction summarized by the editor:

1、 Diameter size

(1) Ultra fine wire: with a diameter as small as 0.02mm or even thinner, it is mainly used in special fields that require high precision and flexibility, such as micro guide wires in high-end medical devices, used for vascular intervention and other operations in minimally invasive surgery.

(2) Fine filaments: The common diameter range is between 0.1-0.5mm. For example, specifications such as 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, etc. These filaments are commonly used in audio headphone cables, utilizing their excellent elasticity and conductivity; Nickel titanium alloy temperature memory cable also used in the toy industry, which can achieve some special movements and effects of toys.

(3) Medium wire diameter: diameter between 0.5-2.0mm. Specifications such as 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm, etc. In the field of medical devices, it is used to manufacture small instrument components, orthodontic archwires, etc; In eyeglass manufacturing, 1.0-1.4mm nickel titanium monofilament is often used as the shaping material.

(4) Coarse thread: with a diameter greater than 2.0mm, it can usually reach 2.0-10.0mm or even thicker. Specifications such as 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm, 9.0mm, 10.0mm, etc. Larger diameter nickel titanium monofilaments can be used to make components that can withstand large external forces or require high strength, such as special structural components in the aerospace industry, or elastic connectors in large industrial equipment. In eyeglass manufacturing, the large diameter can reach 5.0mm when making shaping materials.

2、 Special specifications

In the field of orthodontics, in addition to the conventional round wire specifications mentioned above, there are also various sizes of square and flat wires:

(1) Round wire: Common nickel titanium alloy archwire specifications include 0.012 inches (approximately 0.3048mm), 0.014 inches (approximately 0.3556mm), 0.016 inches (approximately 0.4064mm), 0.018 inches (approximately 0.4572mm), etc., which are usually used during the initial orthodontic alignment stage.

(2) Square wire: available in specifications of 0.016 inches x 0.022 inches (approximately 0.4064mm x 0.5588 mm), 0.017 inches x 0.025 inches (approximately 0.4318 mm x 0.635 mm), 0.018 inches x 0.025 inches (approximately 0.4572 mm x 0.635 mm), etc., suitable for different treatment stages such as dental alignment and transition to working period.

3、 Length specifications

The length specification of nickel titanium monofilament is usually 1000-3000m/roll, but it can also be customized according to customers' special needs to produce longer or shorter lengths.

4、 Packaging specifications

(1) Coiled wire: Generally, nickel titanium monofilaments are wound into a disc shape for easy transportation, storage, and use. The common diameter of the disc may vary depending on the wire diameter and length.

(2) Straight strip: Processing nickel titanium monofilament into a certain length of straight strip form, suitable for some application scenarios that require high straightness of the wire, or situations that require specific processing technology. The length of the straight strip can generally be customized according to the needs.

In addition, nickel titanium monofilaments can also be processed for wire straightening, precision cutting, polishing, and other treatments according to customer requirements to meet the special needs of different application fields. Wuge nickel titanium alloy material can provide nickel titanium single wires and nickel titanium memory alloy products with various wire diameter sizes such as 0.05mm, 0.06mm, 0.098mm, etc., supporting customization.
