Agreement Value:

$35,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jun 1, 2021 - Feb 28, 2022

Description:

Smarter Alloys has a breakthrough technology that can push the operational temperature ranges of shape memory alloy actuators for aerospace and automotive applications. In consultation and through design iteration with our industry partners, Smarter Alloys has determined that a defining characteristic for actuators in this space is to function at temperatures greater than 80C. We have identified a ternary alloy that allows for the mechanical properties desired within this space. This project will support the research into the mechanical characteristics and properties of this shape memory alloy, as well as the effect of shape-based design elements to increase both yield and mechanical output.
