@AJLOVESLILY You have to heat treat it and shape set it to the shape you want, so this involves - typically- having it at around 520degs for about 10mins in the shape you want
This video appears to be from an introductory metallury lab course and the instructor correctly describes this as a reversible martinsite-austinite reversible. This behavior has been known for over a hundred years. A number of ferrous and non-ferrous metal alloys undergo stress or temperature induced reversible shape transformations. These transformations were first observed 130 years ago by a German metallurgist named Martin and hence they are called martinsitic transformations.
it would be cool to make a car out of this. like if a car got totally demolished, they would just heat it up and it would fix itself. Or make buildings out of it to make earthquake-proof buildings. Technology is on the edge of fantasy!
how do you get it in the "transition" shape?

I want a Nitinol car body so that when i crash, all I need to do is spray some hot water over it.

Hey, guys! I made a belt of Nitinol wire.
*Someone splashes hot water on me*
Belt says "BUY A REAL BELT"
