Welding Titanium and Stainless
Welding Titanium and Stainless
(OP)
I have an application where a titanium part for a dental instrument needs more mass and need to weld this part to a piece of stainless. We tried welding Ti-6-4 to 304L with absolutly no success via laser welding. Is there a procedure that can make this successful and/or is there a better titanium and or stainless alloy that can be used to yield a successful weld?
Thanks,
Bob

How about friction welding the parts together?

Other joining methods should be considered; perhaps brazing diffusion bonding, explosive welding(no base metal melting) or as mentioned above friction welding.
