The so‐called two‐way shape memory effect could be very attractive for technical applications. This work deals with the generation of a two‐way shape memory effect and its optimization in NiTi, NiTiW and CuAlNi wire material. Moreover, thin ribbons of CuAlNi have been produced by melt‐spinning to investigate the shape memory behaviour of small parts for possible applications as microsensors and microactuators.
