Nitinol Memory Wire Samples

These 3" samples of memory wire can be wound around a pencil to form a coil. When immersed in hot water, the wire returns to its original shape. The wires can be "set" into other shapes, using a candle flame. These wires have a smaller diameter than our memory wire by the foot.

"HOT" Wire

This custom shaped "HOT" wire is a simple way of demonstrating the properties of Nitinol. When the wire is cool, it can be bent into any shape. Drop it into warm water (above 105F/40 degrees Celsius) and it springs back to its original remembered shape, spelling the word 'hot'. Allow the wire to cool and the experiment can be repeated.

Measures approximately 4"x2", 24" total wire length
