“…Due to the austenitic-martensitic phase transitions, NiTi alloy has a shape memory effect and superelasticity-the ability to fully recover its original shape after removal of an external load, which can significantly exceed the yield strength of the material [41,42]. At normal atmospheric pressure, NiTi has the relatively high liquidus temperature T l 1580 K, which allows this alloy to be classified as heat resistant [43]. Therefore, NiTi is widely used in the aerospace, automotive, electronics and biomedical industries, for example, in the manufacture of self-sealing thermomechanical joints, thermally sensitive mechanical actuators, robotic elements, electronic device actuators, instruments and implants for cranio-cerebral and maxillofacial surgery, traumatology, orthopaedics, etc.…”
