Description: |
Muscle Wires are thin, highly processed strands of a nickel–titanium alloy called Nitinol – a type of Shape Memory Alloy that can assume radically different forms or “phases” at distinct temperatures.
However, when conducting an electric current, the wire heats and changes to a much harder form that returns to the “unstretched” shape – the wire shortens in length with a usable amount of force.
