Characteristics and applications of shape memory alloys
Features: good shape memory effect. Take the spring made of memory alloy as an example. It has pseudo elasticity, which indicates that shape memory alloy has much larger deformation recovery ability than ordinary metal under external force, that is, the large strain generated during loading will recover with unloading.
2. Application: aerospace equipment. Shape memory alloys such as low temperature mating connectors used in hydraulic systems of military aircraft and shape memory alloys for intelligent horizontal rotors of helicopters are being developed in Europe and the United States. It can also meet the requirements of chemistry and biology, that is, good biocompatibility.
