Abstract

A short description is given on the functional properties of shape memory alloys, being composed of the following five items: Mechanism of the shape memory effect and associated transformation pseudoelastictty. Prerequisites for shape memory alloys and the kinds so far found. Crystal structures of the matrix and various kinds of martensites in shape memory alloys. Two stage pseudoelasticity due to successive martensitic transformations. Applications of the shape memory effect.
