∙ 14y agoNitinol is a Smart Shape Memory Alloy, meaning it remembers its shape. It stands for NI; Nickel, TI; Titanium, N; Naval, O; Ordinance, L; Laboratory. Nitinol can be used for medical purposes, like knee replacements, and to re-attach tendons to bones. It can also be used in glasses as frames, where you can bend it, and it will remember it's shape before it was bent. It can be used many other ways aswell.

∙ 12y agoNitinol is a family of specialty nickel/titanium alloys which exhibit unique shape memory and super-elastic characteristics. This class of materials may be formed into a product, bent or twisted into a different shape, and then easily returned to their original shape. Principal applications include a variety of medical grade devices, orthodontic wire, eyeglass frames, temperature control devices, clamping devices and cellular telephone antennas.
