title = "Shape memory effect of laser welded NiTi plates",
abstract = "Laser welding is a suitable joining technique for shape memory alloys (SMAs). This paper reports the existence of shape memory effect (SME) on laser welded NiTi joints, subjected to bending tests, and correlates this effect with the microstructural analysis performed with X-ray diffraction (XRD). All welded samples were able to recover their initial shape after bending to 180 degrees, which is a remarkable result for industrial applications of NiTi involving laser welding.",
