Abstract:The welding of shape-memory alloys is a challenge due to the fact that there are numerous compositions and because the properties are greatly influenced by the temperature. Of the multitude of shape-memory alloy systems, the most popular and widely used is the Ni-Ti system. Pulsed laser welding is a solution used for joining NiTi shape-memory alloys, having the advantage of localized heating and the possibility to adjust the welding parameters to obtain optimal properties. NiTi wires were welded using a 500W p… Show more
