Martensite aging phenomena in Cu-based alloys: Effects on structural transformation, mechanical and shape memory properties: A critical review

open access: yesScientific African, 2021
Cu-based shape memory alloys have been hyped as the ‘heir’ and pragmatic substitute to NiTi alloys for shape memory applications. Considerations from relatively low materials cost, processing ease, and modest shape memory properties, have been advanced ...

Brief Overview on Nitinol as Biomaterial

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
Shape memory alloys remember their shape due to thermoelastic martensitic phase transformation. These alloys have advantages in terms of large recoverable strain and these alloys can exert continuous force during use.

Application of shape memory alloys in facial nerve paralysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: The Facial Nerve can be damaged at a peripheral level by a stroke or, for example by trauma or infection within the face or the ear. In these cases the facial muscles are paralysed with little or no chance of spontaneous recovery.
