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

“…<p dir="ltr">In the present work, nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys (SMAs) is joined to 304 stainless steel (SS) using friction stir welding (FSW) using process parameters of 400 rpm and a constant tool translation speed of 75 mm/min. The macrostructure of the dissimilar weld showed some surface tunneling defects but there were regions of the weld that were defect free and without evidence of intermetallics at the interface. …”
