Abstract:

Nickel-titanium, referred commonly as Nitinol, which is a shape-memory alloy with super elastic properties which makes it to withstand in certain environments and applications. These properties include shape-memory, flexibility, and durability, Nitinol tires are made of a mesh of wires of Nitinol, a shape-memory alloy based on nickel-titanium that allows the tire to return to its original shape after undergoing deformation. With this concept, the paper aims at producing Nitinol tires for commercial purpose here on Earth. Nitinol Tire is a viable alternative to pneumatic tires here on Earth. To use Nitinol tires one cannot use metal on the highways as the tire won’t provide much grip, therefore a metal frame must be coated with high friction material so as to give a tire which is much grippy and deformable with almost negligible chance of puncture.
