Continuous composite extrusion represents a new possibility for the manufacturing of shape memory alloy metal matrix composites (SMA-MMC). During the process SMA wires are embedded into aluminum or magnesium profiles by means of modified porthole dies. Due to the high flexibility regarding the profile geometry, the materials as well as number, thickness and position of the SMA elements, the process can be used for the generation of a profile integrated bending function. The bending function of the actuator profile depends on the temperature and is thermally activated. The parameters influencing the behavior of the manufactured composited actuators are experimentally investigated. It is found that the radius of curvature mainly depends on the recovery stress and the eccentric position of the SMA wire as well as on the bending stiffness of the actuator profile. The bending mechanism and the experimental results are described by the use of an analytical model as well as a finite element analysis. Based on the results the analytical model is used for the targeted design of a profile with multiple embedded NiTi wires, which is able to perform a repeatable, pure elastic deflection within a defined temperature range between room temperature and 75 degrees C.
