Nitinol (Ni-Ti) Spring – Advanced Shape Memory Alloy Solution

What Is a Nitinol (Ni-Ti) Spring?

Our factory manufactures high-quality nitinol (Ni-Ti) springs, engineered from a unique nickel-titanium alloy known for its exceptional functional properties. Nitinol exhibits superelasticity and the shape memory effect, allowing the spring to undergo extreme bending, compression, or extension and then fully return to its original form with consistent force.

Unlike conventional metal springs, a nitinol spring delivers reliable motion even under repeated stress. This capability makes it an ideal solution for applications that demand precision, durability, and intelligent mechanical response.

Material Composition – Medical-Grade Nickel Titanium Alloy

Each nitinol (Ni-Ti) spring is produced using premium nitinol wire composed of nearly equal parts nickel and titanium. Precise alloy composition is critical, as it directly determines transformation temperatures, spring force, and fatigue life.

Our materials meet strict industrial and medical standards. The alloy offers excellent mechanical strength, superior wear resistance, and outstanding corrosion resistance. It performs reliably in saltwater, humid environments, and bodily fluids, making it especially suitable for medical and dental applications.

How a Nitinol Spring Works

A nitinol spring functions based on temperature-dependent phase transformation. At higher temperatures, the alloy enters the austenite phase, where it becomes strong and rigid. At lower temperatures, it transitions to the martensite phase, which is softer and more flexible.

By controlling alloy chemistry and heat treatment, we can precisely adjust the transformation temperature range. As a result, the nitinol (Ni-Ti) spring delivers a remarkably constant force over a long stroke, outperforming traditional steel springs in both stability and repeatability.

Product Description & Customization Options

Our nitinol springs are precision-formed coil springs designed to fully utilize the alloy’s superelastic and shape memory characteristics. When deformed, the spring recovers completely without permanent damage. When heated, it powerfully returns to its memorized shape.

We offer extensive customization, including:

• Wire diameter and coil diameter

• Spring length and pitch

• Load force and activation temperature

• Compression, extension, or torsion spring designs

Each spring is engineered for consistent performance across millions of cycles.

Manufacturing Capabilities & Quality Control

As a specialized nitinol manufacturer, we control every step of production. From precision wire drawing and spring forming to advanced heat treatment, each process is tightly monitored. Heat treatment defines the spring’s memory behavior and transformation temperatures.

We conduct rigorous testing for force output, fatigue life, dimensional accuracy, and thermal response. Whether you need prototypes or mass production, we provide reliable solutions tailored to your application.
