NiTi-Based Shape Memory Alloys
摘要
Shape memory alloysShape memory alloys have unique properties like shape memory effectShape memory effect and superelastic behaviourSuperelastic behaviour. Engineers and designers have benefited from these unique properties and manufactured products that can’t be achieved using conventional metals. Shape memory alloysShape memory alloys have become a remarkable material class after the discovery of the shape memory effectShape memory effect in NiTi alloyNiTi alloy in 1963. Today, nitinolNITInol (NiTi)Nitinol (NITI) is the most widely used material among shape memory alloysShape memory alloys. In this chapter, it is aimed to provide information about properties, phase transformationsPhase transformation, shape memory effectShape memory effect, superelastic behaviourSuperelastic behaviour and applicationsApplication of Ni–Ti based shape memory alloysShape memory alloys.
