... performed to characterize the pseudoelasticity and shape memory effects. Uni-axial compression tests were also performed at different testing temperatures. The wear tests were conducted using a pin-on-disk tribometer at testing temperatures ranging from 0 ° C to 80 ° C . The wear results showed...
