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.
Where are alloys used?
They are used for braces, medicines and car bodiespixiesayrawr sais:Nitinol is the most successful smart alloy and is used in dental braces and spectacle frames.In dental braces, the nitinol provides a constant force on the teeth as it tries to returm them to the correct shape.In glasses, the frames often get bent and the nitinol frames can return them to their original shape on warming. And the do the bed dance
What is memory metal?
Nitinol, a nickel titanium alloy. The name stands for Nickel Titanium-Naval Ordnance Laboratory. Developed in 1959 as a more heat and impact resistant material for ICBM nosecones, it was discovered to exhibit the shape memory effect by accident laboratory management meeting in 1961. But practical use of nitinol's shape memory did not happen until the 1990s due to difficulties in processing. The shape memory effect in general dates back to 1932, when Swedish chemist Arne Ölander first observed it in gold cadmium alloys. The shape memory effect was also observed in brass in the early 1950s.
How are Alloy Wheels defined?
Alloy Wheels are automobile wheels which are made from an alloy of aluminum and magnesium.

Why is nitinol described as an alloy?
Because it is a metal compound which is made up of titanium and nickel.
Does nitinol wire get hot?
Yes. Nitinol actuator wire works in the same way that Nitinol shape-memory alloy works. It has a threshold temperature at which it actuates. The current that runs through the wire acts to heat it in order to enable the actuation.
What is a name for a smart alloy?
A smart alloy is a smart material that can remember its original shape. The technical name for a smart alloy is a shape memory alloy (SMA). These kinds of alloy include:NickelTitaniumCopperZincAluminium
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.
