AI Thread Summary
Nitinol's heat absorption rate when in contact with a 310 degrees Celsius soldering iron is not straightforward to determine without additional information. Factors such as the thickness of the nitinol, its specific heat capacity, and the duration of contact with the heat source play significant roles. The discussion highlights a need for more details to provide an accurate answer. Users are encouraged to share specifics about their nitinol sample to facilitate better guidance. Understanding these variables is essential for assessing heat transfer in this context.

Hello, I am new here and this is my 1st post.

I want to know how fast does Nitinol absorb heat when placed in the following conditions:

A soldering iron is heated at 310 degrees Celcius, and the tip makes contact directly with the electropolished nitinol. How long will it take for the nitinol to absorb such heat to be considered that it is actually at 310 degrees?

Maybe it is a dumb question but I cannot seem to find answers on the internet.

Thanks, help is greatly appreciated
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
It cannot be answered with the info given.
 
What kind of information should I provide? I will gladly do so.

thanks

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
