Russian Forms/Inflections:

"Нитинол" is a masculine noun (as a loanword from English) and follows standard Russian declension patterns for third-declension nouns, though it is often used in its base form in technical contexts. It does not have irregular inflections but can change based on case and number.

Note: In scientific writing, the nominative form is most common, and plural forms are rare unless referring to multiple types or instances.

Russian Synonyms/Antonyms:

• Synonyms:
  • памятливый сплав (shape-memory alloy; more descriptive and less specific)
  • никель-титановый сплав (nickel-titanium alloy; emphasizes composition)
• Antonyms: None directly applicable, as this is a specific material term.

Related Phrases:

• нитиноловый сплав - A phrase referring to alloys made from nitinol; used in material science discussions.
• память формы нитинола - Describes the shape-memory effect of nitinol; common in engineering contexts.
• применение нитинола в медицине - Refers to medical applications of nitinol; often in healthcare-related texts.

Usage Notes:

This term directly corresponds to the English "nitinol" as a proper noun for the specific alloy. It is primarily used in formal, technical contexts, such as scientific papers or engineering reports. When writing in Russian, ensure it is capitalized only at the beginning of a sentence, as with other loanwords. If multiple translations exist, choose "нитинол" for precision in scientific accuracy, but "памятливый сплав" for more general descriptions. Be mindful of grammatical agreement in sentences, as it must align with Russian case systems.

Common Errors:

• Error: Misspelling as "нитенол" instead of "нитинол". Correct: Use the accurate transliteration "нитинол" to maintain the original term's integrity. Explanation: This error often stems from phonetic approximation, but it can lead to confusion in technical searches.

• Error: Using it in the wrong case, e.g., saying "с нитинол" instead of "с нитинолом" in instrumental case. Correct: "с нитинолом". Explanation: Russian requires proper declension; ignoring this can make the sentence grammatically incorrect.

• Error: Confusing it with similar terms like "титан" (titanium). Correct: Specify "нитинол" for the alloy. Explanation: Learners might generalize, but precision is key in scientific contexts.

Cultural Notes:

As a term derived from materials science, "нитинол" does not carry significant cultural connotations in Russian culture. However, it reflects Russia's engagement with global technological advancements, particularly in aerospace and medicine, where such innovations are valued for practical applications in daily life and industry.
