In this article, a review of the existing high temperature shape memory alloy (HTSMA) systems is given. Certain crucial disadvantages general to all HTSMAs and related to structural mechanisms of the martensitic transformation (MT) taking place at elevated temperatures are described. The perspectives of the HTSMA's application are also discussed.

Key Words: martensitic phase transformation • shape memory alloys • high temperature shape recovery
