Abstract

Nickel Titanium Shape Memory Alloys (NiTi SMA) are material with high strength and good biocompatibility, and more and more applications in several industrial domains, like aerospace, automotive, biomedical and power plants. However, there are still facing some restrictions for themself mechanical property and joining techniques. The composite structure of the NiTi SMA with the Stainless Steel (SS) could better play its characteristics and advantages, and has broad application prospects. Meanwhile, NiTi SMA and SS have great differences in physical and chemical properties. And it is easy to produce brittle metal compounds due to the difficulty of joint welding. Many scholars have studied the dissimilar connection between NiTi SMA and SS, and successfully prepared NiTi/SS orthodontic arch wire according to the research results, but there is still much room for development. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent progress in welding of NiTi SMA and SS, and to introduce current research and application. Lastly, the research status and existing problems of dissimilar metal welding between NiTi SMA and SS in recent years have been summarized. This review focused on the fundamental understanding of the microstructural characteristics, processing and property relationships in the welding and joining of heterogeneous joints.
