A method for joining components comprises locating a region, such as an end region 24 , of a shape memory alloy (SMA) material component 10 adjacent to a further component 12 , and generating localised plastic deformation of the aforesaid region to create a joint between the components 10, 12 . The localised plastic deformation of the shape memory alloy material component 10 is preferably generated by applying a shock load to the shape memory alloy material component 10.
