Thermal Treatment

Thermal Treatment

Oxide provides thermal treatment services at temperatures up to 600°C, designed primarily to impart shape memory to Nitinol. In addition, Oxide will supply the appropriate mold specifically designed for building the Nitinol prototype and the raw material of course.

After the thermal treatment, the memory will be tested in practice using the exclusive incubator we manufactured, which tests the Nitinol output at a controlled temperature. It is also possible to simulate the operation in a small scale model on demand.

The shape-memory imprinting process in thermal treatment

  • Build a model for the mold
  • Manufacture the mold from steel or another ceramic material
  • Relax the Nitinol while in the "drawn" state
  • Heat to the memory-imprinting temperature
  • Quench in room-temperature water
  • Test in the incubator to verify the memory
