High Temperature Shape Memory Alloys Problems and Prospects

In this article, a review of the existing high temperature shape memory alloy (HTSMA) systems is given. Certain crucial disadvantages general to all HTSMAs and related to structural mechanisms of the martensitic transformation (MT) taking place at elevated temperatures are described. The perspective...

Description
Summary:	In this article, a review of the existing high temperature shape memory alloy (HTSMA) systems is given. Certain crucial disadvantages general to all HTSMAs and related to structural mechanisms of the martensitic transformation (MT) taking place at elevated temperatures are described. The perspectives of the HTSMA's application are also discussed.
