NiTi shape memory alloys exhibit both shape memory effect and superelasticity. In general, the shape memory capacity of commercial products supplied as drawing wires is known to be limited below 7% strain. In order to get a larger shape memory strain than that, additional cold working through drawing with dices and a medium temperature annealing were applied. It might cause the work hardening and the re-orientation of grains into the favorable <111> direction along the tensile axis. As a result, we obtained the shape memory and superelastic strains of about 9%.
