Abstract:Nickel–Titanium-based shape memory alloys have reached a high technological relevance in the medical field and also for actuation/energy conversion. At present, the interest in new actuation solutions is steadily increasing. However, one important challenge for the design of new actuators is the lack of connection and coupling options, which often hinders a reliable system integration. To address this challenge, this study presents a temperature-controlled laser processing approach for the generation of spheri… Show more
