Memry’s Nitinol Alloys and Superalloys

Memry is among the largest melters of nitinol, but also the most highly specialized when it comes to test melts of experimental alloys (binary, ternary, quaternary and beyond) where multiple elements are added (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pt etc.). Such alloys can be lighter, smoother, more flexible or stiffer than the standard nitinol, depending on your needs.

We also melt superalloys, encompassing a broad chemistry population which includes (but is not limited to) pure Co, Fe, Al, modified 718 (NiCR alloy), Fe-based alloys, Ni7V, FeNi, 702 (Ni-Cr alloy), CoNi, UMCO 50 (Co-based) and Vicalloy. Our superalloys generally involve relatively small heats (30 to 2000 lbs) of standard and custom chemistries.

Following is an overview of Memry´s nitinol alloy specifications. Customized alloys can be created in collaboration with customers. Please contact us to discuss the alloy your next project requires.
