Characteristics of the Alloy and Advantages of Nitinol Skate Blades.
High strength-to-weight ratio
- Allows for a 14% lighter blade.
- Provides tremendous strength.
- Greatly reduces chatter when stopping.
Flexibility
- Provides greater control in turning—similar to shaped skis.
- Allows blade to torque with the turn—a greater portion of the edge maintains contact with the ice.
Low coefficient of friction
- Provides a faster skate blade.
- Decreases skater fatigue.
- Reduces drag allowing skaters to maintain their momentum.
Erosion and corrosion resistance
- Prohibits rust and corrosion
- Provides greater durability—extending the life of the blade
- Provides a longer-lasting edge that requires fewer sharpenings (6 times fewer)
Hardness and yield strength
- Reduces the number of full-grind sharpenings which maintains the blade rocker profile.
- Resists nicks due to contact with locker room debris, sticks and the nick will not propagate.
- Reduces the hassle of dropping off and picking up skates for sharpenings at rinks or hockey shops.
