Talk:Nickel titanium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edited the composition to be accurate rather than absurd. As a material science student I am vastly amused that someone out there things an alloy can be 180% of anything by weight. I'm somewhat less amused to see this sort of thinking on a (somewhat) reputable source of information... (169.232.121.30 (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC))

I added some information that came with a Nitinol wire I have, I also added some of the company's websites. Jkasd (talk) 05:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nitinol

I don't believe nitinol is a trade name, and it deserves an article of its own. I believe nickel and titanium can form alloys, but nitinol isn't actually an alloy, strictly speaking, and the word is used only to refer to the "shape memory alloy," not to alloys of nickel and titanium in general.

Don't split. Unless you have an example of a nickel titanium alloy that is separate from nitinol (i.e. it doesn't have shape memory properties, or it has additional unique properties, etc...), I don't see why this article needs to be split. Jkasd 18:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
