Tube-to-tubesheet welding with Titanium
Tube-to-tubesheet welding with Titanium
(OP)
I'm examining a welding specification for tube-to-tubesheet welding with the following materials:
- Tubes: SB 338 Ti Gr.2
- Cladding (explosion): SB 265 Gr.2
- Base Material: SA 182 Gr.304L
I think no preheating is needed, am I right?
Is any of the typical heat treatments used for Ti required after welding?

I have included the TiMet web site which has a decent technical guide on fabrication and handling of Ti alloys.

Often Ti tubes are welded in because the material is soft and you can't develop stong enough joints just by rolling them.
