Microstructure and Shape Memory Alloys

Applications

A lot of materials which inhibit the so-called shape-memory effect have been discovered. They allow for a wide range of applications, and there are many companies acting on the growing market of SMA products. They develop high tech products in fields ranging from technics over bio-engineering to medical applications.
