1. flexon

   Nickel titanium, also known as Nitinol, is a metal alloy of nickel and titanium, where the two elements are present in roughly equal atomic percentages. Different alloys are named according to the weight percentage of nickel; e.g., Nitinol 55 and Nitinol 60. It exhibits the shape memory effect and superelasticity at different temperatures. Nitinol alloys exhibit two closely related and unique properties: the shape memory effect and superelasticity (also called pseudoelasticity). Shape memory is the ability of Nitinol to undergo deformation at one temperature, stay in its deformed shape when the external force is removed, then recover its original, undeformed shape upon heating above its "transformation temperature". Superelasticity is the ability for the metal to undergo large deformations and immediately return to its undeformed shape upon removal of the external load. Nitinol can deform 10–30 times as much as ordinary metals and return to its original shape. Whether Nitinol behaves with the shape memory effect or superelasticity depends on whether it is above the transformation temperature of the specific alloy. Below the transformation temperature it exhibits the shape memory effect, and above that temperature it behaves superelastically.

1. Flexon

   Flexon is the trademark for a shape memory alloy of titanium that is used to make eyeglass frames. The manufacturer claims this alloy has special properties that make it light and extremely flexible. The metal can be bent to a significant degree, and when released it will return to its original shape. It was developed by The Beta Group and bought by Marchon Eyewear in 1995. It is also used in the Nike Vision product line. Original advertising for the Flexon frames implied that the frames were made entirely from the Flexon titanium alloy. Although the temples and bridge of the frames are of this titanium alloy, the portion of the frames that actually hold the lenses are of a more traditional alloy which will corrode and pit, just like other metal frame glasses.
