Dissimilar laser welding of NiTi wires
NiTi shape memory alloys are well-known due to their outstanding functional properties including superelasticity (SE) and Shape Memory Effect (SME). Laser welding is a viable technique for the joining of NiTi wires, which are employed in the design of smart structures. Joining of dissimilar wires can provide better flexibility using various alloys and, consequently, lead to multi-functional properties.
