Memory titanium wire price

Memory titanium wire is also called shape memory alloy or nickel-titanium memory alloy wire (when its main components are nickel and titanium). It plays a very important role in the field of high-tech materials, especially in the medical, aerospace and electronics industries. It has a unique feature-shape memory effect, that is, when it is subjected to external force or deformation, it can automatically return to its original shape. This feature makes it irreplaceable in many technical applications. So, what is the price per kilogram of memory titanium wire?

1. Material composition

Memory titanium wire is mainly composed of titanium (Ti) and nickel (Ni). Some memory titanium wires may also be added with a small amount of copper (Cu) or other elements to improve their performance. The addition of these elements gives memory titanium wire excellent shape memory properties and good elastic plasticity.

 

2. Main characteristics

1) Shape memory: Memory titanium wire can automatically return to its initial form after being subjected to external force or shape change. This feature originates from its alloy microstructure and phase change law. When the temperature rises to a certain level, the memory titanium wire will return to the preset shape. This feature is called shape memory effect.

2) Superelastic deformation performance: When the external force is removed, the memory titanium wire can quickly return to its original length. This means that when subjected to large deformation, the memory titanium wire can still maintain stable mechanical properties, and will not experience plastic deformation or fracture.

3) Other physical properties: Memory titanium wire also has the characteristics of small size, light weight, convenient use, silent operation, and low cost. Its tensile strength can reach 850 MPa, its yield strength is between 195690 MPa, and its elongation is 2550%.

 

3. Application fields

With its unique properties, memory titanium wire has been widely used in many fields:

1) Medical field: Endoscopes and heart stents made of memory titanium wire can flexibly deform and automatically recover in the body, significantly improving the treatment effect.

2) Electronic field: Memory titanium wire can be used to manufacture sensors and switches that can repair themselves, bringing innovations to fields such as robotics.

3) Aerospace: Memory titanium wire can be used to manufacture components such as satellite antennas to meet shape control requirements in complex environments.

4) Other fields: Memory titanium wire can also be used to make daily necessities such as shoulder pads for clothes, as well as in various fields of the national economy such as metallurgy, chemical industry, petroleum, and military industry.

 

4. Factors affecting the price of memory titanium wire per kilogram

1) Raw material cost

Titanium metal is a rare metal with high production costs, so the purchase price of raw materials is one of the important factors in calculating the price of memory titanium wire. Fluctuations in raw material costs will directly affect the market price of memory titanium wire.

2) Production process

The production of memory titanium wire requires multiple processes, including purification, wire drawing, heat treatment, etc., and each process will increase the cost. Different production processes will affect the performance and quality of memory titanium wire, thereby affecting its price. High-quality memory titanium wire usually adopts advanced production processes, which are more expensive and the price will increase accordingly.

3) Market supply and demand relationship

Market supply and demand is another important factor in determining the price of memory titanium wire. Memory titanium wire is widely used in many fields such as medical, electronics, aerospace, etc., and the demand is large. However, due to the relatively limited supply of titanium raw materials, prices tend to rise when demand increases or supply decreases. Conversely, if market demand is insufficient, prices may fall.

4) Purity and specifications of titanium wire

The purity and specifications of memory titanium wire also have a direct impact on the price. High-purity memory titanium wire has a higher price due to its complex manufacturing process and high cost. Memory titanium wires of different specifications will also have different prices due to different uses.

5) Other factors

In addition to the above main factors, some other factors need to be considered, such as transportation costs, taxes, policy adjustments, etc. Although these factors do not directly affect the production cost of memory titanium wire, they will affect its market price to a certain extent.

 

5. Price range of memory titanium wire

The price range of memory titanium wire is roughly US$10 to US$200 per kilogram. Among them, there are memory titanium wires with more affordable prices, which are sold at between US$10 and US$50 per kilogram. In addition, there are highly corrosion-resistant memory titanium wires suitable for a variety of uses, with a price range of between US$40 and US$170 per kilogram. For medical-grade memory titanium wires, the price is relatively high, ranging from US$150 to US$200 per kilogram. Of course, the prices of memory titanium wires of different models and specifications will also vary to a certain extent.

 

The price of memory titanium wire is not fixed, it is affected by many factors. The cost of raw materials, changes in production processes, and fluctuations in market supply and demand will directly or indirectly affect the price. Although price fluctuations may be troubling for some consumers or companies, considering the cost issue, this fluctuation is actually part of the characteristics of memory titanium wire as a high-tech material. Its flexibility and variability reflect its unique value.
