Nitinol in : Interfaces
Read the condition on Nitinol before the nickname. Year , line “Interfaces,” figure 1. Oxides, chars, sizings or paints are the layer the world actually meets. A material is what it is made of, the condition it survives, and where it goes afterward. Nitinol under “Interfaces” in should say which, with 1 tied to the condition. A figure with no condition is a boast. Readers meet the name on the back of a product, so the code and the history should not share one sentence.
Scores compare Nitinol with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates. Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.
Nitinol (NiTi (~50/50 at.%)) is a family of grades whose density ~6.45 g/cm³, heat band ~1310 °C, and fire letter A1 metal. Nitinol is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry NiTi (~50/50 at.%), density ~6.45 g/cm³, heat band ~1310 °C. This atlas treats Nitinol as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in.
Conductivity note: ~10–18 W/m·K. Insulation score 12/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: A1 metal. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide. Origin: NOL 1959 Buehler, United States. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install.
The label keeps Nitinol, , and 1. “Interfaces” is the condition on the figure.1
