V. Kurdyumov and L.G. Handrods discovered the shape memory effect of some metal alloys, also called as, second sort phase transition, and in 1980 theywere given a diploma on opening for No. 239 of this effect was issued to them. <...> The optimum combination of physical and mechanical characteristics allowed to use alloys with shape memory in many industries <...>
