If I need a high temperature SMA for an 800-850 °C application, am I out of luck? Many PtTi, PdTi, HEAs, multicomponent don't survive more than a few cycles. Nitinol is great, but it can't do everything for us….

Is there an application for SMAs that you would like to see more research or discussions? Or do you have an off-the-wall (i.e. out of the box) ideas that would be interesting to re-engineer SMAs into?
Feel free to speculate, to offer incomplete thoughts or even to promote your own (and/or your student's) research involving case studies!
Thanks,
