	%X Dissimilar joining of Titanium and Aluminum thin
sheets has potential applications in aerospace and automobile
industry which can reduce weight and cost and improve strength,
corrosion resistance and high temperature properties. However
successful welding of Titanium/Aluminium sheets is of challenge due
to differences in physical, chemical and metallurgical properties
between the two. This paper describes research results of Laser Beam
Welding (LBW) of Ti/Al thin sheets in which many researchers have
recently performed and critically reviewed from different
perspectives. Also some of notable works in the field of laser welding
with changes in mechanical properties, crack propagation, diffusion
behavior, chemical potential, interfacial reaction and the
microstructure are reported.
