Abstract

L'invention concerne un alliage à mémoire de forme à base de fer. L'invention vise à proposer un alliage à mémoire de forme à base de fer unilatérale, qui présente, pour des coûts de fabrication réduits, une température d'activation plus élevée en comparaison avec des alliages à base de cuivre et de nickel et dont les propriétés en matière de corrosion et de façonnage sont améliorées en comparaison avec des alliages élaborés sans nickel et contenant du chrome. A cet effet, l'invention propose un alliage présentant les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.
