Russia's insistence on paying for Russian gas in rubles has rattled European countries: Greece held an emergency meeting of suppliers, the Dutch government would urge consumers to use less gas, and the French energy regulator told consumers not to panic. Russian gas meets one-third of Europe's annual energy needs.

Russia said they could expand their demand for ruble payments for other commodities, including oil, grain, fertilizer, coal, and metals, which raised the risk of recession in Europe and the US. 

Moscow is expected to unveil its ruble payment plan in early April, but it said it would not immediately ask buyers to pay for gas in rubles.  

Western countries have said paying in rubles would be a breach of contract, and renegotiation could take months or longer. This uncertainty has pushed commodity market prices higher.

The supply and prices of other commodities like the Nitinol could also be affected.

What is Nitinol?

Nitinol is a shape memory alloy, which is a special alloy that can
automatically restore its own plastic deformation to the original shape at a
certain temperature, and has good plasticity. In addition to its unique shape
memory function, memory alloys also have excellent characteristics such as wear
resistance, corrosion resistance, high damping and superelasticity.

Nickel-titanium alloy has a strong “memory”, it can accurately restore its
original shape with the change of temperature, use it to fill teeth, and even
the frog holes that you have twisted around can be inlaid very tightly; use it
to When connecting the pipes, it will be like the tight hoop on Sun Wukong’s
head, which can shrink automatically and is very firm.

Uses of Nitinol

The pipe joint device made of nickel-titanium alloy can automatically shrink
when heated, so the pipe joint can connect the catheter very firmly. This kind
of pipe joint is used in the system of naval ships and some chemical devices.
Many countries use shape memory alloys to make self-fastening rivets to fasten
the connection of some special parts such as aircraft and spacecraft. The United
States also uses shape memory alloys to develop an antenna that opens
automatically in a spacecraft. This antenna can be automatically folded and put
into the spacecraft. As the flight altitude rises, the temperature rises under
the sunlight, and the folded antenna will automatically open again.

Nitinol can also be used for the early alignment and leveling of patients’
dentition. Due to the superelasticity and shape memory properties of the Nitinol
archwire and the lower stress-strain curve, the Nitinol archwire is currently
routinely included in the clinical practice. The arch wire of the orthodontic
system.

Nickel-titanium push springs and tension springs are springs for
orthodontics. They are super-elastic with nickel-titanium, and are suitable for
orthodontic treatment to open up gaps between teeth and pull teeth in different
directions.

The current international situation is highly uncertain, and its economic impact has not been able to be assessed properly. In addition, rising energy and commodity prices and supply chain disruptions are expected to push the price of the Nitinol higher.
