Designed for industrial and aesthetic applications, it offers fast, reliable shape recovery with customizable transition temperatures, making it a must-have for innovative professionals seeking cutting-edge material performance. ## Description Wire returns to straight upon application of heat. You will not believe it until you see it. Choose from 0.5mm, 1mm or 2mm thickness. 1mm is best all-around. The various transition temperatures are approximate points where wire begins to transition (it happens on a gradient). The more dramatic the temperature difference, the faster it jumps! Review: quick shipment. good price - i bought the 12ga wire. Fun to play with. Not sure what to do with it yet but I'm going to buy more different temps. Review: It's real but it's memory isn't very straight. - After messing with it over a couple days the memory is not in a very 'straight' position. It twist almost 2.75" when heated a bit. No where near the point it should be adjustable. There are also a lot of powered on the sample that when first waved with the yellow edge of a lighter flame (which on 2mm wire wouldn't conduct nearly enough in a second to hit the memory point) caused a flair up (not near the core of the blue flame which 'can' hit 1900C - messing with the memory takes like 500C). No damage done, kind of fun but unexpected explosions are never good. I think it was a powder or residue left behind that could have been used too lubricate the die used to draw the wire. Or just Ti dust from the drawing. Not sure, either way it flared up. It's alright, but I bet there are better samples at this price tag. ## Features - Available in 3 gauges: 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2mm - Each transition temperature type has unique characteristics - Available in low-temp, room-temp, and high-temp activation ranges - Each transition phase temp wire has a different formulation - try them all! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01HP5WNDY | | Best Sellers Rank | #536,187 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #41 in Nitinol Wire | | Brand | Nexmetal | | Color | Black | | Date First Available | June 28, 2016 | | Finish Type | Polished | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.317 ounces | | Item model number | niti | | Manufacturer | Nexmetal | | Material | Nitinol | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 3.19 x 2.76 x 0.16 inches | | Recommended Uses For Product | Heat-activated applications, Aesthetic uses | | UPC | 647732872248 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nexmetal - **Color:** Black - **Finish Type:** Polished - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Kilograms - **Material:** Nitinol ## Images ![1 Foot Nitinol Shape Memory Heat Activated pre-Trained Wire (2.0mm 60C (12ga 140F)) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xBB88+AQL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long is it?** A: Please look at the title, because there are multiple listings here.

Fun to play with. Not sure what to do with it yet but I'm going to buy more different temps. ### ⭐⭐ It's real but it's memory isn't very straight. *by A***P on November 2, 2023* After messing with it over a couple days the memory is not in a very 'straight' position. It twist almost 2.75" when heated a bit. No where near the point it should be adjustable.

But I thought it was going to be super expensive because I read it was made from platinum instead of titanium. This metal was used in the moon rovers tires because of its shape memory. When i microwave water for 3 minutes and put the curled up nitinol in with the water it resumes its straight shape. You can even use electric current like in an oven and it will resume its shape. But if you take it over 100 degrees Celsius it will form a new shape memory. ## Frequently Bought Together - 1 Foot Nitinol Shape Memory Heat Activated pre-Trained Wire (2.0mm 60C (12ga 140F)) - 5 Feet Nitinol Shape Memory Pre-trained Wire (1.0mm 40 C (18ga 104 F)) - 1 Foot Nitinol shape memory heat activated pre-trained wire (2.0mm 40C (12ga 104F)) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/85797306-1-foot-nitinol-shape-memory-heat-activated-pre-trained-wire](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/85797306-1-foot-nitinol-shape-memory-heat-activated-pre-trained-wire) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
