Nickel titanium alloys have the characteristics of shape memory effect, superelasticity, and good biocompatibility, and are widely used in daily life. Here are some common examples:

 Medical field

 Medical Devices : Nickel titanium alloy is commonly used to manufacture various medical devices, such as vascular stents. It can be compressed into small sizes at low temperatures, inserted into the site of vascular lesions through a catheter, and then restored to its original shape under the action of body temperature, widening narrow blood vessels and maintaining vascular patency. In addition, it is also used to manufacture cardiac occluders, orthodontic wires, etc.

 Human implants : Due to its good biocompatibility, nickel titanium alloy can be used to manufacture human implants such as artificial joints, bone plates, and intramedullary needles. It can bind well with human tissues, reduce rejection reactions, and its shape memory and superelastic properties help better adapt to physiological movements of the human body.

 Daily necessities

 Glasses Frame : Glasses frames made of nickel titanium alloy have super elasticity and shape memory function, are not easily deformed, and can quickly return to their original state even if accidentally twisted. Moreover, it is lightweight, comfortable to wear, corrosion-resistant, and not easy to rust, which is highly favored by consumers.

Mobile phone antenna: Utilizing the shape memory property of nickel titanium alloy, the mobile phone antenna can recover to its original shape after being bent by external forces, ensuring stable antenna performance and improving the signal reception capability of the mobile phone.

Women's bra: Nickel titanium alloy wire can be used as a support material for bras, which can automatically adjust its shape according to human movement and posture changes, providing comfortable support and good fit.

Children's toys: Some toys with special deformation functions, such as deformation robots, telescopic toys, etc., will use nickel titanium alloy materials. By utilizing its shape memory effect, toys can undergo shape changes under different temperatures or external forces, increasing their fun and playability.

Aerospace and military fields

 Aerospace : In the aerospace industry, nickel titanium alloys are used to manufacture various connecting components, seals, and structural parts. For example, nickel titanium alloy joints are used at the connection points of the hydraulic system pipelines of an aircraft, and their shape memory effect can ensure the tightness and reliability of the connection in different flight environments, preventing hydraulic oil leakage.

 Military field : Nickel titanium alloy can be used to manufacture some special components in military equipment, such as smart skins. This type of skin can automatically adjust its shape according to changes in the external environment, alter the aerodynamic shape of the equipment, and improve its stealth and flight performance. In addition, it is also applied in the buffering and shock-absorbing components of weapons, utilizing its super elasticity to absorb and buffer impact forces, protecting weapon equipment and operators.

 Other fields

Pipeline connection: Nickel titanium alloy fittings have important applications in pipeline connection. Put a nickel titanium alloy sleeve on both ends of the two pipes that need to be connected, expand the inner diameter of the sleeve at low temperature, and when the temperature rises to room temperature, the sleeve will automatically shrink and tightly embrace the pipes to achieve a sealed connection. This connection method has the advantages of good sealing and easy installation, and is commonly used in pipeline systems such as petroleum, chemical, and water supply and drainage.

 Sensor : Nickel titanium alloy can be used to manufacture sensor components such as temperature sensors and pressure sensors. Due to its shape and resistance changing with external factors such as temperature and pressure, this change can be converted into electrical signals to achieve accurate measurement and monitoring of physical quantities such as temperature and pressure.
