Introduction:
Nickel flat wire is a type of metal wire with special properties, mainly composed of nickel (Ni) and titanium (Ti), formed into a flat cross-section through a specific process.
Surface Condition:
The surface condition of the wire is passivated, black and bright, bright, and lightly oxidized.
Features:
Shape memory: The preset shape can be restored by temperature changes.
Superelasticity: It automatically recovers after deformation under stress, with a large elastic range.
Corrosion resistance: The surface oxide film is corrosion-resistant and suitable for various environments.
Biocompatibility: Non-toxic, suitable for medical implantation scenarios.
Excellent mechanics: High strength, light weight, flat cross-section.Size and Tolerance Range

Chemical Composition
Element Category Element Typical Content Range Medical Grade Standard (e.g., ASTM F2063) Common Industrial Grade Range Effect on Performance Main Elements Nickel (Ni) 54.5 - 57.0 ≤57.0 54.5-58.0 Determines the phase transformation temperature (Ni content ↑➡ phase transformation temperature ↑), affecting the performance of superelasticity and shape memory effect. Titanium (Ti) 43.0 - 45.51 (remainder) ≥42.5 42.0-45.5 Forms the Ni-Ti matrix with Ni; excess easily generates Ti. 2 Ni brittle phase, reduces ductility; ensures the basis of corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Impurity Elements Oxygen (O) ≤0.10 ≤0.05 ≤0.15 Forms oxides with Ti, increasing alloy brittleness and reducing plastic deformation ability; needs strict control (medical grade requirements are stricter). Nitrogen (N) ≤0.05 ≤0.03 ≤0.05 Forms interstitial solid solution, increasing hardness but reducing toughness; excess leads to room temperature brittleness. Carbon (C) ≤0.05 ≤0.03 ≤0.05 Forms carbides with Ti (such as TiC), affecting phase transformation uniformity and leading to unstable mechanical properties. Iron (Fe) ≤0.05 ≤0.03 ≤0.08 Replaces Ni in the lattice, changing the phase transformation temperature (Fe content ↑➡ phase transformation temperature ↓), and reducing corrosion resistance. Hydrogen (H) ≤0.005 ≤0.002 ≤0.005 Causes hydrogen embrittlement, affecting the fatigue life of the alloy; environmental humidity needs to be controlled during melting and processing. Trace Elements Molybdenum (Mo)/Niobium (Nb) (Added in some special grades) - 0.1 - 0.5 (improves corrosion resistance) Added to a few industrial-grade alloys to improve high-temperature corrosion resistance or adjust the phase transformation temperature; generally not added to medical grade.
