Abstract: Superelastic behavior of laser welded NiTi is significantly different from the original base material due tomicrostructural changes introduced during welding. These are responsible for a higher accumulated irrecoverablestrain during mechanical cycling. In order to clarify the mechanisms responsible for theevolution of the accumulated irrecoverable strain on superelastic laser welded NiTi, detailed synchrotronX-ray diffraction analysis was performed. Welded samples were analyzed as-welded, after 4 cycles at 10%strain and after 600 cycles at 10% strain. As-welded sample had thermally stabilized martensite in theheat affected and fusion zones due to the welding procedure. It was observed that after 4 cycles, stabilizationof the stress induced martensite occurred in a massive way in the thermal affected regions, dueto the introduction of defects which prevented the reverse transformation upon unloading. After 600cycles no significant changes were observed in the thermal affected regions. However, evidence ofmartensite stabilization in the base material, which was originally fully austenitic, near the heat affectedzone was observed.
