Titanium-nickel (Ti-Ni) shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been widely used for biomedical applications. However, Ni is recently known as a toxic element that can cause hypersensitivity on human body. Therefore, the development of Ni-free SMAs for biomedical applications is crucial. The best candidate...
