Joining NiTi shape memory alloy and 304 stainless steel (SS) presents significant technical challenges, and studies on micro-resistance butt welding (MRBW) of such dissimilar materials are extremely scarce. This work uncovers the nanoscale micro-structure evolution and inter-metallic compounds (IMCs) formation mechanism of NiTi to 304 SS micro-wire joints with a diameter of 0.45 mm during MRBW. Atomic diffusion of Fe and Ni promotes the formation of Fe
