| Summary: | "...This report is one of a series of such publications sponsored by the NASA Technology Utilization Office to help industry and institutions benefit from research and development in the aerospace field. A series of nickel-titanium alloys (55-Nitinol), which are unique in that they possess a shape "memory," are described in this report. Components made of these materials that are altered in their shapes by deformation under proper conditions will return to predetermined shapes when they are heated to the proper temperature range. The shape memory, together with the force exerted and the ability of the material to do mechanical work as it returns to its predetermined shape, suggest a wide variety of industrial applications for the alloys. This report also includes discussions of the physical metallurgy and the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of 55-Nitinol; procedures for melting and processing the material into useful shapes; and a summary of applications that have been suggested for these unique alloys."--Foreword. |
