| Abstract: | The article focuses on a research that reflects on the development of shape-memory alloys that undergoes reproducible phase transition and can also develop materials that remember their shape after deformation. It informs that a plastic strain introduced at low temperatures in shape-memory alloys can perfectly reversed when the material is heated above a critical temperature. It states taht shape-memory and superelastic properties are associated with a solid-to-solid phase transition. |
