ABSTRACT:
A method for joining components comprises locating a region, such as an end region24, of a shape memory alloy (SMA) material component10adjacent to a further component12, and generating localized plastic deformation of the aforesaid region to create a joint between the components10, 12. The localized plastic deformation of the shape memory alloy material component10is preferably generated by applying a shock load to the shape memory alloy material component10.
