Will as received shape memory alloy, such as Nitinol, display shape memory effect?

07 September 2022 1 1K Report

We purchased Nitinol wire on Amazon. Now, we would like to know if anything (any heat treatment) needs to be done before utilizing the wire for its intended purpose of shape memory effect? The intended purpose of shape memory alloy is to grip objects that weigh around 50 grams.

We tried heating the as received wire to 50 degrees celsius. Nothing happened.

Request experts to provide suggestions.

Respected sir, I am not an expert, but i think that, shape memory alloy can hold the weight 50 gm , depends on the strength of the allow you have taken, if you send me the diagram of the setup , i can ask my teachers
