Part II.: Dissimilar friction stir welding of nickel titanium shape memory alloy to stainless steel – microstructure, mechanical and corrosion behavior حسب Parker West (17268946)

"…SS side of the weld showed typical FSW microstructural zones with higher microhardness in the SZ (270 HV) compared to BM (185 HV). Tensile testing of the weld showed a small initial plateau region, characteristic of shape memory alloys (SMAs) arising from NiTi part of the weld. …"
