Plastic energy and tearing energy of a NiTi shape memory alloy wire, Materials and Design 29 (2008) 1066–1069
According to this study, depending on the requirement
of a particular application, if strength is of the prime concern, austenitic wire is preferable; while if higher plastic and tearing energies are more important, martensitic wire should be selected.
