Shape memory alloys (SMAs) belong to a class of shape memory materials (SMMs), which
have the ability to 'memorise'or retain their previous form when subjected to certain stimulus …

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), famous class of smart materials with unique functional and
intelligence properties, have attracted much attention in recent decades. These materials …

In this work, metastable beta Ti–Nb–Zr (Ta) ingots were manufactured by vacuum arc
melting. The ingots thus obtained were divided into two batches: the first subjected to cold …

The substructure and structure formation as well as the mechanical and functional properties
of thermomechanically treated Ti–50.7 at.% Ni and Ti–50.0 at.% Ni alloys were studied …

Recent years have witnessed much progress in medical device manufacturing and the
needs of the medical industry urges modern nanomaterials science to develop novel …

TiNi alloys are well-known thanks to their remarkable properties–enhanced strength,
corrosion resistance, and especially superelasticity and shape-memory effect. Due to this …

Abstract The Fe-Mn-Si alloys are promising materials for biodegradable metallic implants for
temporary healing process in the human body. In this study, three different compositions are …

The effect of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) in quasi-continuous mode on the
structure formation and mechanical and functional properties of a near-equiatomic Ti-Ni …

In the present study we discuss the evolution of aging-induced microstructure, critical
temperatures of martensitic transformations (MTs) and their specific temperature ranges …

One of the issues that modern implants face is their high stiffness, coupled with a positive
Poisson's ratio along the implant. This creates certain problems with bone inflammation and …
