title = "Corrosion Behavior of Laser-Welded Ti6Al4V in 3.5%Wt NaCl",
abstract = "Titanium and its alloys, especially Ti6Al4V, have greatly revolutionized the manufacturing industry. Ti6Al4V, the workhorse of industries, has been widely used in the aerospace, automobile, and marine industry due to its outstanding corrosion resistance and good strength-to-weight ratio. This article investigates the corrosion potentials of Ti6Al4V joined using laser welding in 3.5%wt sodium chloride (NaCl) and compares it with an unwelded Ti6Al4V sheet. The samples were characterized using the Tafel curve, open-circuit potential, and scanning electron (SEM) images. Results showed that the unwelded sample exhibited higher corrosion resistance when compared to the laser-welded sample.",
