Iron-based shape-memory alloy recovering its engineered form under controlled heat.
Materials SciencePublished by Journal of Alloys and Compounds

This review surveys iron-based shape-memory alloys that can recover a preset shape in response to heat, stress, or magnetic stimuli. It covers conventional processing, additive manufacturing, material characterization, and modeling approaches.

The paper also examines emerging 4D-printing methods and applications including sensing, damping, tube couplings, and reinforced concrete. It provides a broad view of the manufacturing challenges and opportunities for practical deployment.
