Titanium-Nickel Shape Memory Alloys in Medical Applications

  • Chapter
Book cover Titanium in Medicine

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are special metallic materials, which spontaneously recover shape after being subjected to macroscopic deformation higher than their elastic limit. Recovery of shape may occur after heating or after release of loads. Applied deformation can be quite complex. Combinations of different deformation sequences are as readily recoverable as simple tension or compression. Numerous alloy systems, polymers, and ceramics have been found to exhibit shape memory behavior [1–10].
