Greets all!

I am interested in obtaining information and samples of various shape-memory 
alloys for a project I am currently working on.  I've read a number of 
publishings concerning nichrome wire, but am uncertain how to go about 
obtaining the real stuff.

If _anyone_ can point me towards:

* an ftp-able server where sci.materials-related papers/publishings/abstracts 
are kept...

* a mail-order company that can provide shape-memory alloys

* a reference book/paper/article that gives data for thermal and or electrical 
linear expansion coefficients

I would _truly_ appreciate it. :)

I am not a regular reader of this newsgroup, so any help, responses, or flames 
should be sent to:

nhaldar@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
*or*
neilh@well.sf.ca.us

No preference is given for whichever email address you want. :)

Again, thanks for the help, guys. :)
