RESUMO

The austenitic stainless steel of orthodontic wires may undergo phase transformation induced by plastic deformation and heat treatment for stress relief. In order to study these changes, arches were made with 0.0215 x 0.027" orthodontic wires and ferromagnetic resonance measurements were performed. The results showed that the best heat treatment for recovery of the austenitic phase seems to be at 450 °C for 3 min.
