The study compiles 901 datasets containing 17,119 data points to predict recoverable actuation strain in quaternary NiTiHfX shape-memory alloys. Inputs include composition, manufacturing route, heat treatment, applied stress, and post-processing.

The reported global model reaches an R-squared value of 0.96. The work demonstrates how machine learning can help researchers select promising alloy compositions and processing pathways before committing to costly experiments.
