A BRIEF HISTORY
1932 - A. lander discovers the pseudoelastic properties
of Au-Cd alloy.
1949 - Memory effect of Au-Cd reported by Kurdjumov &
Kandros.
1967 At Naval Ordance Laboratory, Beuhler discovers
shape memory effect in nickel titanium alloy, Nitinol
(Nickel Titanium Naval Ordance Laboratory), which
proved to be a major breakthrough in the field of shape
memory alloys.
1970-1980 First reports of nickel-titanium implants
being used in medical applications.
Mid-1990s Memory metals start to become widespread
in medicine and soon move to other applications.
