The main properties of NiTi alloys are presented, discussed and compared with respect to those of stainless steels. Special regard is given to the use of NiTi alloy as orthodontic wires and endodontic instruments. The superelastic properties of orthodontic wires and endodontic files are measured as a function of the applied stress, of the strain and of the temperature. Both biomedical devices are submitted to surface analysis to control the interface with the biological environment in which they will be immersed.
介绍、讨论了镍钛合金的主要性能，并与不锈钢的性能进行了比较。特别关注了镍钛合金作为正畸丝和根管器械的应用。测量了正畸丝和根管锉的超弹性性能与所施加应力、应变及温度的函数关系。对这两种生物医学装置都进行了表面分析，以控制它们与将要浸入其中的生物环境的界面。
