    Shape memory alloys were discovered in 1932 and were initially made of brass and gold cadmium. Nickel-titanium shape memory alloys were not utilized until 1962 when they were discovered by Buehler and coworkers. There are two main types of shape memory alloys: one-way and two-way. Shape memory alloys are used in aerospace, medical devices like dental tools and tweezers, mobile phones, and clothing.
