Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is a material that undergoes a phase change when subjected to mechanical stress or temperature changes.SMA can be subjected to large deformation operations and return to its original shape under specific conditions.SMA is widely used in a variety of fields such as aerospace, mechatronics, biomedicine, bridge construction, the automotive industry, and daily life due to its many excellent properties.

Medical Devices: Innovation and Salvation

In the field of medical devices, SMA's super elasticity and biocompatibility make it the material of choice for surgical guidewire stents. It has been widely used in in vivo stents, heart blockers, minimally invasive medical devices, etc., bringing safer and more effective treatment options to patients.

Automotive Engineering: Improvement of Performance and Efficiency

The application of SMA in automotive engineering is equally impressive. Its shape memory and superelastic properties are being used to develop more efficient sensors and actuators, such as fan clutches, automatic transmission control adjustment valves, etc. These innovations are driving the automotive industry toward greater performance and efficiency.

Aerospace and Building Engineering: Lightweight and Durable

SMA applications in aerospace reduce the size and mass of aircraft space mechanisms, such as hydraulic pipe fittings for aircraft and wing optimization for fixed-wing vehicles. In construction engineering, SMA's super elasticity and high damping properties have also demonstrated excellent performance in vibration and noise reduction and energy dissipation damping in bridge construction.

3C Field: Innovation and Intelligence

In 3C products, SMA is driving the development of intelligence and miniaturization with its shape memory and super-elastic properties. SMA is used in self-healing connectors and screen hinges for smartphones, which improves the durability and user experience of the devices. In addition, SMAs are showing great potential for miniature actuators and sensors in portable electronic devices, enabling more compact and flexible designs. As technology advances, the application of SMAs in the 3C field will continue to expand, bringing a higher level of intelligence and user-friendliness to products.
