Certain metallic materials will, after an apparent plastic deformation, return to their original shape when heated. This unusual effect depends on the occurrence of a specific type of phase change known as martensitic transformation. Martensite forms on cooling from the high temperature phase, termed austenite, by a shear type of process.
