Nitinol in Plain Language

Nitinol is a nearly equiatomic mixture of nickel and titanium, it’s the most exciting material on earth because of its shape memory effect (SME) and superelasticity (SE).  Along with other extraordinary properties including extremely high fatigue life, nonmagnetic, high power/weight ratio, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and biocompatible, Nitinol became highly desirable in many applications.

Nitinol is difficult to understand and to work with. This book explains basic Nitinol concepts, applications and working mechanisms in plain language to lead interested individuals to this amazing material.
