The shape memory effect was tested by bend test. The alloys were further tested for its corrosion behavior in fresh water, HankĄ¯s solution and sea water. From the results it was observed that the alloys exhibit high corrosion resistance in fresh water when compared to HankĄ¯s solution and sea water. And it was also observed that the alloys exhibit better corrosion resistance in HankĄ¯s solution than in sea water.</span>
