Tensile test showed that the strength of the welded joints of powder metallurgy Ti–51%atNi shape-memory alloys (SMAs) decreases after disk-laser welding due to the presence of pores and columnar structure in the fusion zone. There was a reduction in the superelastic behavior of the welded joints com...
