Circular Nitinol Wire by Kellogg's Research Labs

Our nitinol round wire is produced by cold drawing through a circular die, available in short lengths or full spools. Drawn, not rolled, ensures high flexibility and ease of winding into intricate shapes. Heat treatments can set permanent shapes and modify thermal and mechanical properties. We supply black oxide and polished surface finishes, with other finishes available upon request. Nitinol round wires have extensive applications, from actuators and springs to shape-changing art. Transition temperatures vary, affecting the wire's behavior in different environments.

• Manufacturing Process & Flexibility: Our nitinol round wire is cold drawn, not rolled, through a circular die, making it highly flexible and easy to shape. It's available in short lengths or complete spools, with black oxide and polished surface finishes, and can be heat-treated to set permanent shapes or modify properties. Custom surface finishes are available upon request
• Versatile Applications: Nitinol round wires can be used in a wide range of applications, such as actuators, springs, and even shape-changing art. The possibilities are endless with our round wire
• Transition Temperatures & Effects: - Superelastic: 0-10°C, Springy and superelastic at room temperature - Air Temp (20°C): Softens in cool environments, reverts to set shape at room temperature - Body Temp (35°C): Softens in cool environments, reverts to set shape when held - Standard Temp (45°C): Softens at room temperature, reverts to set shape when heated - High Temp (80°C): Softens at room temperature, reverts to set shape when heated
