If you're asking yourself \"What magic is this?!\" We assure you this is not magic, but simple science thanks to shape memory and a shift between the weaker, low-temperature, easily-deformed (martensitic) form and its stronger, high-temperature, \"remembered\" (austenitic) form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003eWhen the Muscle Wire® is in its martensitic form, it can be shaped and bent into different forms. However, by applying an electrical current of ~200mA or heating it to ~100°C, it returns to its austenitic form and recovers its previous shape with great force. Additionally, it can be annealed at ~500°C (using an industrial oven or simply a lighter) to give it the desired shape; by applying that current or heat, it will recover 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\u003eThe datasheet found below corresponds to Flexinol® actuator wire; it is not exactly the same as all Muscle Wire®, but it is close.
