Analysis of a NiTi Shape Memory Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work demonstrates particularly the basic properties of shape memory alloys and gives a brief review about their basic crystallographic processes. The attributes of shape memory alloys will be presented through the NiTi alloys. The crystallographic principles of three unique properties were investigated and the functional mechanism described. One of the three essential mechanisms, the one-way effect was demonstrated through an experiment. The change of length depending temperature was tested and documented. The hysteresis behavior of shape memory alloys was recorded.
