This effect enables them to change their own shape and return to some memorized state, according to the environment temperature. The area of usage of shape memory alloys is very large and heterogeneous. There are two main groups of SMAs in commercial usage: Ni-Ti alloys and copper based alloys. This paper will present some of the experimentally obtained mechanical characteristics of the shape memory alloy Cu-Zn-Al.enSMAmechanical characteristicsCu-Zn-Al alloyconferenceObject
