Nd:YAG laser welding of Ti-27 at.% Nb shape memory alloys

A Nd:YAG laser welding technique with varying pulse widths was employed to weld Ti-27 at.% Nb shape memory alloy plates, and subsequent phase transformation characteristics and microhardness of welds were systematically investigated. From microstructure observation, it is apparent that weld seams co...
