Muscle wires: book and sample wires kit. (TS0354)

The 50-page book about Nitinol memory alloy deals with the physical characteristics and specifications of the alloy as well as providing practical information about how to use it in projects ranging from simple levers to computer interfacing and walking machines. The kit is ideal for students and experimenters. Also refer to our other Nitinol wire and Flexinol wire materials and kits.TS0287 Flexinol wire 0.050 mm x 1 mTS0307 Live wireTS0339 Space wings bio-metal electronic kitTS0627 Flexinol wires 1 m x 0.050/ 0.100/ 0.150 TS0630 Nitinol compression springTS0631 Nitinol extension springTS0632 Nitinol wires for experimentersTS1139 Electric pistonChoosing the right wire.If you are new to this area of experimentation then buy the book and its sample wires as a starting point. In this way you can learn about the potential uses of the material, understand the techniques involved and use the sample wire in a elementary experiment.There are several names used for these materials (Muscle wire. Flexinol wire, SMA, Nitinol, and Live wire) so it is often confusing for the beginner.Live wire is a sample of the Nitinol alloy wire which is suitable for shaping and then heating so that it returns to its original shape. Our Nitinol wire for experimenters are thicker longer samples of this material.Flexinol also known as Muscle wire are thin hair like examples of Nitinol alloy. These are generally used in experimentation when rapid contraction in length is the desired outcome.The springs and the electric pistons are special shapes or applications that exploit the special characteristics of Nitinol alloy.
