Several alloy systems can be selected for high-temperature shape memory alloys, defined as alloys with stable reverse transformation temperatures above 120°C. However, due to the lack of minimum quality standards for stability, ductility, functional behavior and reliability, no successful applications have been realized so far. Research on high temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMA) is, nevertheless, an important topic not only for scientific reasons but also due to the market pull. This paper reviews existing systems of HTSMA pointing out their weak and strong parts.
