متن کاملApplications of Shape Memory Alloys: A Review
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) impart a potential application in a wide range in microand nano-industrial world. Classic properties such as free recovery or pseudo-elasticity still needed further specifications in smart materials or micro-actuators applications. Nowadays, a primary goal is achieved that these materials offer a price-competitive advantage compared to other functional materials desig...
متن کاملIndustrial Applications for Shape Memory Alloys
Although medical applications for shape memory alloys (SMA) now dominate in today’s market, there are many applications in the industrial sector which have reached large volume production that far surpass the material usage in the medical fields. In the early growth of shape memory alloy technology the most important applications were for fasteners and couplings, mainly in the military sector. ...
متن کاملA new look at biomedical Ti-based shape memory alloys.
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are materials that exhibit a distinct thermomechanical coupling, one that gives rise to a wide variety of applications across a broad range of fields. One of the most successful roles is in the construction of novel medical implants. Unfortunately, concerns have been raised about the biocompatibility of the most popular SMA, nitinol (NiTi), due to the known toxic, all...
