Muscle Wire - 0.005" Diameter (1 Foot)

This Muscle Wire has 0.005" diameter and is one foot long piece of nickel-titanium alloy that can flex and contract when a specific amount of heat or current is applied to it. When the Muscle wire is in its martensitic form, it can be formed and bent into different shapes. However, when an electrical current of  around 200mA is applied to the wire, or is heated to  around 100°C it reverts to austenite form and recovers its previous shape with great force. It can also be annealed at ~500°C to whatever shape. Once that current or heat is applied it will return to that new shape.
