Abstract: The field of self-healing materials, capable of autonomously repairing damage, has gained substantial attention across industries. This review focuses on self-healing materials, particularly aluminum, examining intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that position aluminum as a promising candidate for self-repair. The exploration includes diverse strategies, with a notable emphasis on integrating shape-memory alloys. The review outlines current applications in engineering, aerospace, automotive, and construction, emphasizing practical implementation, success stories, and positive impacts on structural integrity, durability, and maintenance cost reduction.
