Reconciling viability and cost-effective shape memory alloy options – A review of copper and iron based shape memory metallic systems
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are group of alloys that display anthropomorphic characteristics. These alloys recover their pre-deformed morphology when heated above their transition temperatures after being deformed in their lower temperature phase (martensitic phase). This unique material behavior is...
