Shape Memory Alloys (SMA nitinol wires) can provide novel solutions in several fields, for various applications (e.g. actuator, biomedical application, clamping systems, outdoor sports-paragliders(superelastic nitinol wires for Paragliders) etc.
Because of their excellent performance and reliability, in addition to strain recovery, Ni–Ti is attractive for several medical applications due to its biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and fatigue behavior.
