Description of Nitinol Eyewear Frames
Nitinol eyeglass frames are manufactured from a Ni-Ti shape memory alloy. They have a density of approximately 6.45 g/cm³, which contributes to reduced weight during prolonged use. The frames adjust to a temperature of approximately 37 °C, thereby conforming to the wearer’s facial contours and ensuring a customised fit. The material exhibits superelasticity with stresses reaching up to 250 MPa. Consequently, after deformation it reverts to its original shape promptly. The frames are resistant to corrosion from perspiration, cosmetics and cleaning agents, and they maintain their appearance. Nitinol eyeglass frames are biocompatible and comply with the standards applicable to medical devices. They combine extended durability with functional comfort and are suitable for various eyeglass applications.
