We ha­ve ex­pan­ded our team with spe­cia­lists from the shape me­mo­ry tech­no­lo­gy and dri­ve the de­ve­lop­ment of this pro­mi­sing fu­ture tech­no­lo­gy ad­van­ces. Tech­no­lo­gy The ef­fect of the shape me­mo­ry al­loy (SMA) ba­sed on a ther­mo­elas­tic trans­for­ma­ti­on of the lat­ti­ce struc­tu­re, the al­loy on­ly in so­me sys­tems, such as Ni-Ti oc­curs. Is a com­po­nent ma­de of a shape me­mo­ry al­loy is de­for­med be­low a cer­tain tem­pe­ra­tu­re, a re­ver­si­ble chan­ge in shape oc­curs. When the com­po­nent is rehea­ted over the trans­for­ma­ti­on tem­pe­ra­tu­re, it re­verts to its aus­te­nitic lat­ti­ce struc­tu­re and hence to its ori­gi­nal shape. Shape me­mo­ry al­loys are cha­rac­te­ri­zed by a high power den­si­ty and enable the rea­liza­t­i­on of sim­ple de­sign and noi­se­l­ess ac­tua­tors. Mo­re­o­ver, the shape me­mo­ry tech­no­lo­gy of­fers a va­rie­ty of in­no­va­ti­ve po­ten­ti­als for dif­fe­rent pro­ducts. The po­ten­ti­al lies main­ly in the fiel­ds of space, weight, noi­se and func­tio­nal in­te­gra­ti­on ...
