Shape-memory alloys, as their name implies, possess the ability to return to their original shape after being stretched or squished. Nickel-titanium shape-memory alloys, for example, are used as ...
Memory alloys that spring back into a pre-defined shape are nothing new, but regular bending means they fatigue and fail within a relatively short time-scale. Now, a team of engineers has developed an ...
A collaborative effort by leading Japanese institutions has led to the development of copper-based alloy (Cu-Al-Mn) with a unique “shape memory effect” at a low temperature of -200°C (−328 °F). This ...
What is a shape memory alloy? Shape memory alloys or SMA's are metals that exhibit shape memory properties. The shape memory effect was first discovered in 1932 in a silver-cadmium alloy. It allows ...
