What are the limitations of using Nitinol SMA Tubes?
The use of Nitinol SMA Tube has the following limitations:
From the cost point of view, the nickel titanium alloy material itself is relatively expensive, resulting in the high manufacturing cost of Nitinol SMA Tube.
In terms of processing, the processing of Nitinol SMA Tube is more difficult. It has shape memory effect and super elasticity, which makes its cutting, bending, welding and other processing operations require special processes and equipment, and the processing accuracy is not easy to control.
From the performance point of view, Nitinol SMA Tube may have performance changes in high temperature environments. Although Nitinol has a certain temperature resistance, when the temperature is too high, its shape memory effect, super elasticity and other special properties may be affected, or even lost.
