fusion = smelting, no?

Your explanation makes perfect sense. Discovered in the early 1960s, more or less by accident, the process was developped in the 1990s. Yes, I guess that makes it recent.

does sound like a rather unlikely idea.
These pieces are made of a material that's got "memory", i.e. has two shapes: the current visible one, and some previous shape that's "memorised" inside the structure of the piece, and to which shape the piece will revert under some specific condition. (BTW nothing revolutionary there: many thermoplastics have “memory of previous shape” and when heated just enough start slowly reverting to it.)
As it's something relatively new, the inventor had also to invent a name for "teaching a piece of metal which shape to take" thus the expression "educating metal", more specifically a shape-memory alloy piece of metal.

perhaps ?

Original
Une intégration complète de la chaîne de production, depuis la fusion et la transformation de l’alliage à mémoire de forme jusqu’à l’éducation de pièces finies et leurs contrôles.'

Your version
A fully integrated production chain, from the fusion and transformation of the Shape-Memory Alloy to the monitoring and ......(l'education).... of the finished products.

My suggestions
- “fusion” for “fusion”
- No capitals for “shape-memory alloy”
- “education”???
- “contrôles” : I’d use something closer to “checking” or “inspection” of the finished elements/components/parts here, rather than “monitoring”. Monitoring suggest something ongoing, where there is a finality of a certain stage here.

As for "éducation", is there any possibility of a typo here?
