If you're asking yourself \"What witchcraft is this?\" we assure you this is not magic, it’s simply simple science thanks to shape memory and a switch between the wires weaker, lower temperature (martensitic) and its stronger, higher temperature (austenite) form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003eWhen the Flexinol® is in its martensitic form, you can form and bend it into different shapes. However, when an electrical current of ~200mA is applied to the wire, or it is heated to ~100°C, it returns to its austenite form and reverts to its previous shape with great force. What’s more, you can anneal it at ~500°C (use an industrial oven or just a lighter) to give it any shape you want; then, once that current or heat is applied, it will return to that new shape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThese are the “HT” type wires.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003e- Length: 340mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003e- Diameter: 0.60mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003e- Current required for austenite form: 4.5A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003e- Pull strength: 8 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003e- Resistance: 0.1 ohms\/inch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/datasheets\/Components\/General\/TCF1140.pdf\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MicroJPM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48426409853028,"sku":"AD31661","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/1344\/4452\/files\/12096-01-2.jpg?v=1779072925","url":"https:\/\/www.microjpm.store\/en\/products\/ad31661","provider":"MicroJPM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
