Revealing the Hidden Heat
How FLIR Empowers Advanced NiTi Alloy Research at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys (SMAs) are unique metal alloys that can be stretched or bent when cold and hold the shape only to return to their original shape when heated. This makes NiTi SMAs useful for a wide-range of devices: surgical implants, anti-scald valves, motorized actuators, and more. Because SMAs respond to heat, researchers rely on infrared cameras to help bette
