Intro Shape-Memory Alloys are materials which can be deformed at lower temperatures but return to their original shape after being heated. ( Works , 2025) The most common type of shape memory alloy is nickel-titanium, which is also known as Nitinol. Other types are usually copper or iron based which sometimes have better, more specific use cases. ( Works , 2025) Shape memory alloys have been adopted in aerospace, automotive, robotics, and biomedical engineering due to their
