Welding of Titanium Alloys: How to Keep Welds Clean, Strong, and Acceptable

A close-up photograph showing a welder wearing a welding helmet and heavy gloves, operating a 'CK WORLDWIDE TIG TORCHES' brand TIG torch with a clear gas cup. A bright blue-white arc is produced at the tip of the torch, performing a precise TIG weld on a stainless steel pipe T-joint. The completed weld bead is neat and features rainbow-like heat tinting. Smoke rises from the weld point against a blurred industrial workshop background.

Welding titanium alloys is mainly about keeping hot titanium clean and protected. Once titanium gets hot, air, moisture, oil, or steel dust can contaminate the weld and make it brittle, even if the bead looks smooth.  In this guide, we’ll cover how to prepare titanium, choose the right welding process, set up argon shielding, read […]
