  2. Nickel titanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_titanium

    Yield strength (austenite) 195–690 MPa (28.3–100.1 ksi) (martensite) ... Nickel titanium, also known as nitinol, is a metal alloy of nickel and titanium, ...

  3. Nitinol 60 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitinol_60

    NiTiNOL 60, or 60 NiTiNOL, is a Nickel Titanium alloy (nominally Ni-40wt% Ti) discovered in the late 1950s by the U. S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory (hence the "NOL" portion of the name NiTiNOL). [1] Depending upon the heat treat history, 60 NiTiNOL has the ability to exhibit either superelastic properties in the hardened state or shape memory ...

  4. Shape-memory alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape-memory_alloy

    The yield strength of shape-memory alloys is lower than that of conventional steel, but some compositions have a higher yield strength than plastic or aluminum. The yield stress for Ni Ti can reach 500 MPa. The high cost of the metal itself and the processing requirements make it difficult and expensive to implement SMAs into a design.

  5. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(engineering)

    The yield strength or yield stress is a material property and is the stress corresponding to the yield point at which the material begins to deform plastically. The yield strength is often used to determine the maximum allowable load in a mechanical component, since it represents the upper limit to forces that can be applied without producing ...

  6. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The strength of materials is determined using various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts. The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus ...

  7. Recrystallization (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recrystallization_(metallurgy)

    Recrystallization is usually accompanied by a reduction in the strength and hardness of a material and a simultaneous increase in the ductility. Thus, the process may be introduced as a deliberate step in metals processing or may be an undesirable byproduct of another processing step.

  8. Strain hardening exponent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_hardening_exponent

    In one study, strain hardening exponent values extracted from tensile data from 58 steel pipes from natural gas pipelines were found to range from 0.08 to 0.25, [1] with the lower end of the range dominated by high-strength low alloy steels and the upper end of the range mostly normalized steels.

  9. Orthodontic archwire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodontic_archwire

    Yield strength - At this point, an orthodontic wire will not return to its original shape; Ultimate tensile strength - The maximum load a wire can sustain; Failure point - A point at which a wire breaks; Modulus of elasticity - It is the ratio between stress and strain. It is measured by the slope of the elastic region.
