Abstract

After TIG and laser welding, the microstructure, shape memory effect and chemical corrosion resistance of Fe-30Mn-6Si and Fe-30Mn-6Si-5Cr shape memory alloys have been investigated. Experimental results show that the welded zones exhibit dendrite structures. The as-welded alloys still have an excellent shape memory effect. The corrosion resistance of welded zones is found to be worse than that of the base-material for both Fe-30Mn-6Si and Fe-30Mn-6Si-5Cr alloys. The degradation of corrosion resistance is more obvious for laser-welded zone than that for TIG-welded zone. After annealing treatment of 1100°C × 2h for these welded alloys, the dendrite structures in the welded zones disappear and the corrosion resistance is improved.
