Shape memory alloy — A shape memory alloy (SMA, also known as a smart alloy, memory metal, or muscle wire) is an alloy that remembers its shape, and can be returned to that shape after being deformed, by applying heat to the alloy. When the shape memory effect is… … Wikipedia
Shape-memory alloy — A shape memory alloy (SMA, smart metal, memory metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy) is an alloy that remembers its original, cold forged shape: returning the pre deformed shape by heating. This material is a lightweight, solid state… … Wikipedia
shape memory alloy — noun Any of a group of metallic materials that can return to a previously defined shape, after being deformed, by being heated … Wiktionary
Magnetic shape-memory alloy — Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs), or ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs), are ferromagnetic materials which exhibit large strains under the influence of an applied magnetic field due to martensitic phase transformation. Magnetic shape… … Wikipedia
Shape memory coupling — is a system for connecting pipes using shape memory alloys. In its typical form the technique uses an internally ribbed sleeve of alloy such as Tinel that is slightly smaller in diameter than the pipes it is to connect. The sleeve is cooled in… … Wikipedia
