A smart alloy, also called a shape memory alloy, returns to its original shape when heated. They can be used to make solid-state actuators and have numerous applications in the medical and aerospace industries.
=== === a normal alloy (like steel) with special qualities. they can bend back into their original shape after being bent. They are used in medical operations and dental braces. They are newly developed so are quite expensive.
What is an alloy?
Pure metals are too soft for many uses. To make metals harder we mix them together to make alloys. Useful alloys include:
-the copper alloys, bronze and brass
-steel, which is an alloy of iron, other metals and the non-metallic element carbon.

Can you name 2 smart alloys and their uses?
The most common smart alloys (also known as shape memory alloys) are copper-zinc-aluminum-nickel, copper-aluminum-nickel, and nickel-titanium. Applications include a device to reduce aircraft engine noise, several medical uses, and of course eyeglass frames such as Titaniflex.
Why are smart alloys are used in manufacture of spectacles?
''Nitinol'' is a SMA (shape memory alloy) that have beendesignedto work in a particular way in response to the stresses and strains placed on it, specially developed to 'remember' its shape under specific conditions. ''Nitinol'' is an alloy of nickel and titanium.
Why is it better to use smart alloys for dental braces than ordinary alloys?
Because smart alloys remember the shape they were first moulded into, while ordinary alloys won't bend back into their first shape, which won't help your teeth.
Why are smart alloys used?
Smart alloys are used because they have an ability to flex and mould in a certain position

What are the disadvantages of SMArt alloys?
The disadvantages of smart alloys are: 1. Their high cost 2. Metal fatigue This is when the bending or twisting of the metal causes it to break.
What is the difference between an alloy and a smart alloy?
An alloy is a mixture of two or more different metals or non metals whiles A smart alloy is an alloy that returns to it original shape when heated................................... An alloy is a mixture of a metal with at least one other element. A smart alloy is an alloy that will make one change when effected by an outside force (e.g.: heat, pressure, etc.) and will change back, whether that is a change in shape or produced voltage.
