medical grade titanium use it at a certain temperature changes shape

Since memory alloy is a " life has alloy " , use it at a certain temperature changes shape , you can design all kinds of self-control devices , its use is expanding . The first application of shape memory alloy pipe fittings in and fasteners . A shape memory alloy is processed into an outer diameter smaller than the internal diameter of the pipe medical grade titanium to be connected to the casing 4% , at liquid nitrogen temperature and then expanding the sleeve diameter of about 8% , this will be removed from the cannula assembly when the liquid nitrogen , the desire inserted from both ends of the tube connection . When the temperature was raised to room temperature , i.e., the sleeve forming a holding seal shrinkage . This connection can be in close contact with anti-leakage , far better than welding , especially suitable for aviation, aerospace , nuclear industry and submarine pipelines and other dangerous situations. The most promising application memory alloys in aerospace technology . July 20, 1969 , "Apollo" 11 lunar module landed on the moon , the first human landing on the moon to achieve the dream of traveling . After the astronauts landing on the moon , on the moon a few meters in diameter placed a large hemispherical antenna for transmitting and receiving information to Earth . A few meters from a large antenna mounted on the tiny lunar module sent into space inside . Antenna that was just invented near memory alloy used. Under normal circumstances, the first predetermined requirements of good memory alloy material with a very thin , then lower the temperature to press thin titanium sheet it into a ball , bring the day to go into the lunar module . Into the lunar surface after the temperature rise in the sunlight , when it reaches the transition temperature , antennas and " mind" from their original appearance , becomes a huge domed . At present, the shape memory effect and superelasticity has been widely used in various fields of medicine and life . Thrombus filter manufacturing , spinal orthopedic rods, plates , artificial joints, women bra , artificial heart and so on. Can also be widely used in a variety of automatic regulation and control devices. Shape memory films and filaments may be the ideal material for future ultra- miniature robots and robots. Especially its light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance makes it highly titanium sheet metal popular in various fields .
