New iron-based superelastic alloy capable of withstanding extreme temperatures

Green Car Congress

A comparison of the stress-strain curves of the new iron-based SEA in comparison to Nickel-Titanium alloy. Associate Professor at Tohoku University, Toshihiro Omori and his team developed an iron-based SEA system, known as Fe-Mn-Al-Cr-Ni. This cost-effective SEA can operate at a much wider temperature range. Credit: Tohoku University.
