Welding Ti Gr 1
Welding Ti Gr 1
(OP)
Welding Ti to Ti Grade 1, ASME SB 265
1/4 inch thick Ti plate, seal welding to Explosion bonded Ti on SA 516-70N plates 1-1/2" to 3-1/2" thick .Any worries of delamination during the welding, proposing SMAW process?
Also required to Cold form 1/4inch Ti plate to form a liner on the ID of custom nozzle covers for pressure vessels, then machining to 3/16 thickness, any advice or experience would be well appreciated...
Thanx..

RE: Welding Ti Gr 1
I would not recommend SMAW, you must use GTAW to avoid any contamination of the weld puddle with air (oxygen).
Go here for information, and either download their Technical Manual or contact them directly;
