| Shape memory alloys are materials that "remember" their original shape and return to it when heated, even if apparent residual deformation was introduced below a certain temperature. The original shape can be set easily by heat treatment. These alloys are used in orthopedic implants and other medical applications, as well as in air conditioners and other home appliances, automobiles, etc. |

| Even when bent or stretched, this Super-elastic alloy returns to its original shape when the stress is removed. It appear to be an extremely elastic alloy. Furukawa Electric has succeeded in commercializing the world's first nickel-titanium Super-elastic alloy. Super-elastic alloy is widely used in bras to achieve a more shapely and alluring bust line, as well as in orthodontics, optical frames, antenna rods, etc. |
