In this Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance paper published in February 2011, Alan Pelton reviews the fundamental principles of Nitinol fatigue from a microstructural perspective. Thermal and mechanical fatigue are discussed, with supporting data from DSC, TEM, and tensile testing illustrating mechanisms and and implications of fatigue in…
