Smart Materials, such as shape memory alloys (sma), will meet us whereever set movements and/or set forces are needed or requested. Wether in equipment for household, cars, heatings, in the Smartphone, in satellites and even as a functional implant in the human body. Special characteristics allow the development of especially efficient products and systems using sma. By the skillfull use of these functional materials complex assembly groups again are more clearly arranged, smaller and lighter. It is an effective way to minimize costs and also to conserve valuable resources. This is what is of equal benefit to the world and (therefore) to humans.

What are shape memory alloys? Shape memory alloys (SMA) are special metals capable of regaining their original shape after large deformation; hence “memorizing” their shape. Often, they may be referred to as memory metals, shape memory metals or even as shape memory metal alloys. Technically speaking, these terms may be considered incorrect since shape memory alloys constitute an alloy and not a pure metal. In shape memory technology, in particular alloys based on nickel and titanium (NiTi, Nitinol®) are mostly relevant. Due to their functional properties, these shape memory alloys are ideal for actuated applications, as well as for parts and components required exhibit high reversible deformations (e.g. guidewires or catheters in medical technology).
