High Elasticity with Super Plasticity
If bent beyond its elastic limit, GUMMETAL can undergo permanent deformation, which is an important consideration of wire bending for orthodontic treatment.
GUMMETAL wire boasts superior elastic deformability, allowing it to bend more without undergoing deformation.
A comparison between stainless steel wire and GUMMETAL wire was bent to the same degree and then released revealing significant differences.
While GUMMETAL effortlessly returns to its original shape, stainless steel remains deformed after bending.
This compelling demonstration highlights GUMMETAL's exceptional flexibility and higher springback characteristics.
This unique feature maintains a stable wire bending while ensuring the wire springs back bringing the teeth into the correct position.
