The unique properties of shape-memory alloys such as nitinol have lent themselves to a variety of applications across numerous industries, including medical devices. These common shape-memory alloys, ...

A team of researchers has discovered that the Mg-Sc alloy shows shape memory properties. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) show distinctive behaviors such as shape recovery upon heating and have a ...

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are materials that “remember” their original shape and can go back to this original shape after deformation under a stimulus. They are also known as smart alloys or memory ...

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 ...

Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries. Although ...

Smart materials are an interesting field that is growing quickly, and shape memory alloys (SMAs) are one such materials that represent one of the most exciting areas. An SMA can experience ...
