ok, don't wanna sound too dumb here, but what is nitinol wire? what's it used for? I read something about thermocouple... is this the wire that changes resistance at different temps?
"I'm not afraid to ask dumb questions... they are easier to handle than dumb mistakes...." I think that was Ghandi or someone....
I'd like to think I'm the guy they are talkin about when they say, "he could F%^& up a cannon ball in a plowed field."

My thermocouple making example probably wouldn't work for nitinol. Not real sure, but it just might want to unwind as the heat from the TIG torch approached it's end. The metals used in K-type thermocouples are alumel and chromel .
