27
Q

Nitinol has no phase change, is not superplastic and is also known as

A

M-NiTi

28
Q

NiTi is superplastic, meaning it has shape ___________; it ( does / does not ) have the ability to change molecular structure

A

memory

does

29
Q

Name the 2 ways to get a phase change in NiTi

A

Pseudoelasticity/Superelasticity

Thermoelasticity

30
Q

Due to the thermoelasticity of NiTi, heat induces change from the ___ → ___ state while cold induces change from the ___ → ___ state.

A

heat: M → A
cold: A → M

31
Q

Due to the superelasticity of NiTi, stress induced martensite (SIM) induces change from the ___ → ___ state while deactivation induces change from the ___ → ___ state.

A

SIM A → M

Deactivation M → A

32
Q

NiTi is formed at high temps (state ___ ), when cooled (state ___ ) can then be plastically deformed.

This means its original shape restored when ( cooled / heated )

36
Q

what is manifested by very large reversible strains and a non-elastic stress-strain or force-deflection curve

A

superelasticity

37
Q

In A-NiTi wires, the initial archwire should exert (more / less / same ) force whether it were deflected a relatively small or large distance

A

the same

38
Q

The unique force-deflection curve for A-NiTi wire occurs because of a ______________________ in grain structure from austenite to martensite in response to an applied force (not to a temperature change).
