What are the benefits of using nitinol in high-tension springs?
The use of nickel-titanium springs in high pressure springs has the following benefits:
- Super elasticity and high elastic modulus: high tension nitinol spring have super elasticity, can withstand large deformation and return to the original state, can provide stable and reliable elastic force in high pressure environments, effectively buffer and absorb pressure shocks, such as high-pressure components in aircraft engines.
- High strength, corrosion resistance: Nitinol alloy has high strength, can withstand high pressure without deformation, no damage, and has good corrosion resistance, can resist the corrosive medium that may exist in high pressure environment, extend the service life, such as spring parts in high pressure pipelines in the petrochemical field.
Shape memory characteristics: shape memory nickel-titanium spring can remember a specific shape, after external stimulation deformation, can be restored to a certain temperature conditions, in some special high-pressure applications, you can use this feature to achieve automatic control and adjustment functions, such as temperature sensors, triggers in the temperature control spring.
Good plastic resilience: Nickel-titanium spring has no plastic deformation within a considerable elastic deformation range, and can be repeatedly compressed or stretched to maintain stable performance, reduce replacement frequency, and reduce maintenance costs.
- High damping characteristics: its damping characteristics are about ten times higher than ordinary springs, which can rapidly consume vibration energy, effectively inhibit the spread of vibration and noise in high pressure equipment, and improve the stability and comfort of equipment, such as spring damping elements in high pressure pumps.
