Abstract:
Shape memory alloys (SMAs), as a kind of intelligent functional materials combining with perception and driving function, are more attention and widely used in various fields since the first application in 1962. Cu-based SMAs are the most potential ones for large-scale industrial applications because of their good shape memory properties, high electrical and thermal conductivities, wide-range transformation temperature and low cost, etc. In recent years, the applications of Cu-based SMAs are booming with the rapid developments of the intelligent system and high performance Cu-based SMAs. This paper reviewed the typical applications of Cu-based SMAs in recent five years in transportation, machinery, civil construction, biological medical, etc. Finally, the future development for Cu-based SMAs was also discussed.
