Nitinol: The Shape Memory Effect and Superelasticity

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 24 окт 2018
  • Bill demonstrates the temperature-dependent shape memory of nitinol metal. He explains how "twinning" in the crystal structure of nitinol produces the memory effect. He shows a nitinol-based engine that is powered by temperature differences. He closes the video with a description of superelasticity, a phenomenon related to the memory effect, which he demonstrates with a cardiac stent. (This video is dedicated to my second son: born right after the rough draft was finished, and who, thus, delayed the filming of the final video by eight months.)

      It is uncommon for cardiac (coronary) stent to be made of nitinol. It is not necessary due to 316L and L605 alloy, which are more affordable than nitinol, being good enough to withstand the pulsatile strain in the coronary artery. Nitinol stent however is commonly used in areas with high strain or tortuous section like femoral artery, or if removal is desired like in IVC filter.

      Stephen Abracadabra beat me to it. Most of our coronary stents are cobalt alloy. We do however implant an aortic porcine tissue valve which has a reticulated Nitinol frame and is delivered transcatheter like a coronary stent. Slightly larger catheter though (16F)

    To all the young RUclipsrs that speak with cringe-worthy nasal tone and vocal fry:
    Listen to this fellow Bill's superb speaking voice, and learn.
    During the golden age of television and radio, his cadence and delivery modulation were a prerequisite for any broadcaster. Why is he so good? Simple. Like a great operatic singer, he understands the importance of controlled breathing and using his diaphragm - to elicit a superior resonance and gentle yet commanding tone.

    ive heard about using nitinol in the "tires" for future vehicles like the mars rover where a tire inflated with a gas isnt an option and because its a "tire" it needs to retain its shape.

    • @TheDuckofDoom.
      @TheDuckofDoom. 5 лет назад +1

      In the literal sense a thick iron hoop can be a tire, as seen on old horse drawn wagons. I'm not certain of the etymology but I think the term comes from the iron hoop "tying" the other wheel parts together similar to the hoops on a wooden cask, but of course it also served to wear much longer than bare wood and was fairly simple to replace.
      The moon rovers used woven spring-steel wire tires. Inflation with gas is always an option but repairing punctures and re-inflating could be a bit more trouble.

    I bet Apple has a Nithinol Power Cable developed, but they're not releasing it until they actually need something "new" to add to their product line.

    • @TheDuckofDoom.
      @TheDuckofDoom. 5 лет назад +6

      I would bet they purposely design cables to have a short life. (And I would make this bet because I know from simple examination of the products that they do this.Their enthusiasm for designed obsolescence, to the point of releasing updates that purposefully hobble otherwise functioning devices, has put Apple into legal trouble in some countries.)

    Your channel is incredibly informative and interesting, with extremely clear videos.
    I have known about shape memory alloys for 20 years, but I didn't know how it worked at the atomic level. Though I am sure the phenomenon must be very complicated, thanks to your pictures and explanations it is much clearer to me.
    Many many thanks for your valuable (but priceless) work, and long live science and engineering !

    I am so glad you're putting out more videos. I love the education you give me. You're eloquent, you're expressive, but direct. Your examples are clear and concise. As someone who has not had any formal education beyond highschool I find your videos to be inspiring to me to learn more about the mechanics of our world. Thank you so much, man.
    P.S. I was a random dude who texted you and you mentioned you had a new son a couple of years ago, I really hope you and your family are doing well!
