“…For the past years, several research projects have been carried out aiming to join NiTi alloys and successful results have been reported by different research groups [4][5][6]. Different welding processes have been attempted, including brazing with silver pastes [7] but these were limited to microsized devices, as wires, where mechanical strength is not a requirement. In fusionbased processes, lasers have been, by far, the most used, especially solid-state lasers.…”
