Mechanical and Microstructural Characterization of Ultrasonic Welded NiTiCu Shape Memory Alloy Wires to Silver-Coated Copper Ferrules

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical behavior, and the microstructure of NiTiCu shape memory alloy wires joined with silver-coated copper ferrules via ultrasonic spot welding. Therefore, the electrical resistance was measured during tensile testing, and the joints were analyzed by...
