Shape memory in NiTi is because of stress induced form__________________?

Correct answer: A. Austenite to martensite

  • A. Austenite to martensite
  • B. Martensite to austenite
  • C. Ferrite to austenite
  • D. Austenite to ferrite

Explanation

When stressed below its transformation temperature, NiTi changes from austenite to stress-induced martensite, allowing temporary deformation. Heating reverses the change from martensite to austenite and restores the original shape.
