NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS RESISTIVITY www.indiandentalacademy.com 21. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS SHAPE MEMORY ‘The ability of material to remember its original shape after being plastically deformed’ A certain shape is set at elevated temperatures (above the TTR).When the alloy is cooled below the TTR, it can be plastically deformed but when it is heated again the original shape is restored. www.indiandentalacademy.com 22. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS THERMOELASTICITY Through deflection and repeated temperature cycles the wire in the austenitic phase is able to memorise the preformed shape Ex; An orthodontic archform By lowering the temperature the alloy is transformed into martensite and becomes pliable and easily deformed www.indiandentalacademy.com 23. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS PSEUDO ELASTICITY A small percentage of martensite ( Intermediate Phase R ) is present in the grain structure. Under the conditions of stress “Stress induced martensite ( SIM ) ” will be formed. A LOCALISED STRESS RELATED SUPERELASTIC PHENOMENON www.indiandentalacademy.com 24. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS SIM is unstable In orthodontic clinical applications, SIM forms where the wire is tied to brackets on malalligned teeth so that the wire becomes pliable in deflected areas. In those areas the wire will be super elastic untill tooth movement occurs. www.indiandentalacademy.com 25. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS SUPERELASTICITY The stress value remains fairly constant up to a certain point of wire deformation. At the same time deformation rebounds, the stress value remains again constant. It is determined by the typical crystallographic characteristics of NiTi www.indiandentalacademy.com 26. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS STRESS-STRAIN CURVE A-B shows elastic deformation of the austenitic phase B is the stress at which martensite will form C-D elastic deformation of martensite www.indiandentalacademy.com 27. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS LOAD- DEFLECTION CURVE www.indiandentalacademy.com 28. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS The unique force deflection curve for A-NiTi wire occurs because of a phase transition in grain structure from austenite to martensite , in response not to a temperature change but to applied force. This transformation is a mechanical analogue to the thermally induced shape memory effect. www.indiandentalacademy.com 29. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS CLASSIFICATION NiTi orthodontic wires are generally classified as NON SUPER ELASTIC ( M –NiTi ) Nitinol SUPER ELASTIC ( A-NiTi ) Japanese NiTi ( Sentinol ) www.indiandentalacademy.com 30. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS WATERS ( 1992 ) divided the compounds into 3 groups based on their TTRs 1) Group I – Alloys with TTR between room temperature and body temperature. ( Mart active alloys ) 2) Group II - TTR below room temperature. (austenitic) 3) GROUP III – Alloys with TTR close to body temperature which by virtue of the shape memory effect spring back to their original shape when activated by body heat. www.indiandentalacademy.com 31. NICKEL-TITANIUM ALLOYS III) EVANS and DURNING introduced a even more comprehensive classification of orthodontic alloys dividing into 5 groups. 1) Phase 1 – Including alloys like gold and ss. 2) Phase II – Stabilised 3) Phase III – Super elastic active austhentic 4) Phase IV – Thermodynamic active martensitic 5) Phase V - Graded thermodynamic. www.indiandentalacademy.com 32.

Friction and surface smoothness 2. Compressive strength 3. Yield strength & breakage resistance Beta III is bendable , high force low deflection, nickel free arch wire with memory. www.indiandentalacademy.com 178. Results of the study showed that The coefficient of friction, surface smoothness,yield strength & ultimate tensile strength of TiMolium was superior to that of TMA . However TMA has low load deflection rate and high spring back than TiMolium . Yield strength of Beta III was lower than TMA and TiMolium Formability is good but resiliency is low. www.indiandentalacademy.com 179. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THIS STUDY; 1. Correction of crowding or alignment of teeth - TMA > Beta III 2. Intrusion - TMA shows a better stress relaxation TMA > TiMolium . www.indiandentalacademy.com 180. 3. Space closure Sliding mechanics - TiMolium shows lowest values of coefficient of friction in both static as well as kinetic friction.
