Weld Stud, Titanium
Weld Stud, Titanium
(OP)
Need some help on this one?
We are trying to create a weld stud on .012" thick titanium, grade 3 or 4. We have a weld stud gun but contiuously keep blowing thru the metal. Also some of our weld studs are stainless steel. Does this pose a problem with different metals? Also is cleaniness an issue? Our engineering dept. had no problems with samples but we have had lots of troubles in the production environment. Thanks.

Shielding gas (argon) is the first priority. Ti being exposed on the ambient air at 400 degrees C within welding almost turns to wite sand( dust)!So the gas to be applied to each surface being heated up to 400 oC! Heat also to be removed as quick as possible!
As for SS+Ti so this will be not reliable joint. For arc welding the third intermediate metall (bronze ore tantal) shall be used!
