Our nitinol round wire is cold drawn through a circular die and available in short lengths or complete spools. Since the wire is drawn rather than rolled, it is highly flexible and can be easily wound into complex shapes. Heat treatments can be used to set a permanent shape and to modify the thermal and mechanical properties. As a raw material, we supply round wire with black oxide and polished surface finishes. However, we have numerous other surface finishes available upon request for your application.
Nitinol round wires can be used in a wide variety of applications including actuators, springs, and even shape changing art! By purchasing our round wire, the applications are limitless.
