Melt-cast microfibers of Cu-based shape memory alloy adopt a favorable texture for superelasticity

Continuous production of shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers and microfibers is a non-trivial task due to the challenges associated with their undeformed memory and, for many copper-based SMAs, brittleness in non-engineered forms. Here we demonstrate the direct continuous casting of super-meter-scale Cu...
