shape memory alloy (alloy, <metal by quality>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Shape memory alloys are imprinted with a shape so that even after they are deformed, a threshold temperature will bring about a return to the original configuration. Copper-aluminium-nickel, and nickel-titanium are the two main types of shape memory alloy. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Vormgeheugenmetalen zijn legeringen die na vervorming bij een bepaalde drempeltemperatuur weer terugkeren in de oorspronkelijke configuratie. Koper-aluminium-nikkel en nikkel-titanium zijn de twee belangrijkste soorten vormgeheugenmetalen. |
