Some applications for shape memory alloys
Alliages à mémoire de forme

The aim is to ensure a connection between two parts by taking advantage of the ability of A.M.F. to deform strongly in the martensitic state. A cylindrical sleeve made of T i-Ni alloy, whose transformation temperature is well below room temperature, is designed so that its internal diameter in the mother phase is slightly smaller than the external dimension of the tubes to be joined. Below the temperature M _f , this sleeve is deformed...
