Some metals known as shape-memory alloys can remember their shape and return to form when heated.

The claims regarding shape-memory alloys are well-supported by evidence. Shape-memory alloys like nickel-titanium exhibit the ability to return to a predefined shape when exposed to heat. This phenomenon is both scientifically recognized and documented, with applications in various industries. While no specific professional fact-check was found, multiple sources confirm the properties of shape-memory alloys, supporting the factual accuracy of the claims.
