The weldabilityrefers to its ability to be welded. Metallic material is considered to be susceptible to welding to an established extent with given processes and for given a corresponding technological process for welded parts as to their own qualities as well as to their influence on a structure they form. Titanium is a unique material, as strong as steel but half its weight with excellent corrosion resistance, at temperatures above 500°C; titanium has a very high affinity for oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. Whether at macro-, micro- or Nano- scale, providing mechanical support and integration, electrical connection, optical coupling, environmental protection, the exception to this metallurgical definition is mechanical joining (fastening, riveting, crimping. Femtosecond laser irradiation can be used to obtain ultrafast non thermal melting of solid materials. Nano scopic joining is finding wider applications. It has a significant effect on the cost, quality, performance and reliability of the fabrication. Totally new evolution of materials gives way to revolution to meet unimagined new designs and design demands and safety having an impact on future growth in welding technology. Replacement technologies such as polymer bonding, adhesive bonding, and abrasion are being developed.
