Shape Memory Alloys Market covers analysis by Type (Nitinol, Copper-Based Alloys, Iron-Manganese-Silicon, Others); End-Use Industry (Biomedical, Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, Consumer Electronics and Home Appliances, Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South and Central America). Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are a type of alloy that can return to its original shape after being deformed due to its ability to "remember" its original shape. The property of returning to the original shape is known as the "shape memory effect" and is caused by a change in the crystal structure of the alloy when it is heated or cooled.
