Why is nitinol a smart alloy?
forms into any shape when heated and when reheated molds into its original shape.
What name is given to a material which returns to it's original shape after being deformed?
elastic
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.
What are the characteristics of smart metals?
A smart metal, or memory shape alloy, is an alloy that returns to its cold forged shape after the application of high heat. They have a range of uses in aerospace, surgery, dentistry, piping, robotics and medicine. manufacturing costs are high and smart metals are not as strong as standard steel. Smart metals are produced by either casting, vacuum arc welding or induction welding: they are then rolled, stretched, shaped and then quenched or cooled rapidly by cold air. The application of thermal energy returns them to the shape it was in before cooling, and upon cooling will the atoms will realign so that the metal reshapes into the shape it was in after cooling.
What material molded into a shape and heated to very high temperatures?
Ceramic
Give one advantage of making the frame from smart alloy instead of an ordinary metal?
It can go back to its original shape when it is heated.
What is matter considered if it returns to its original shape?
elastic

What is the name when someting returns to it's original shape like a spring?
Recoil.
When solid rock deforms and returns to its original shape it has undergone?
When a solid rock deforms and then returns to its original shape, it is known as elastic deformation. The rock doesn't break under pressure, but instead changes its form, and after the pressure is released the rock goes back to its shape.
Definition of viscoelastic fluid?
A fluid that returns to its original shape after the applied stress is released
What name is given to a material which returns to it's original shape after being deformed?

Why can nitinol be used as a switch to switch off a kettle when it gets too hot?
Because when it is heated up, it returns to its original shape, meaning the switch would ping back up and stop the kettle from boiling any more. :)
When a solid is heated and then pressed to form a new shape Is its area remains constant or volume or both?
Assuming that none of the solid evaporated during the time that it was being heated, then the mass must be conserved. Then, assuming that after the object is in its' final shape the density of the material returns to its' original value the volume must be unchanged. This is because mass = volume * density. However, the surface area does not have to be the same.
How does memory metal work?
A shape memory alloy (SMA, smart metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy) is an alloy that "remembers" its original, cold, forged shape, and which returns to that shape after being deformed by applying heat. This material is a lightweight, solid state alternative to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. Shape memory alloys have applications in industries including medical and aerospace.
What happends to potential energy as a squashed ball regains its shape?
As the ball returns to its original shape, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases.
