TIG welding Titanium Grade 2 to Grade 5

You're aware that the weld will be no stronger than the weaker of the two materials, correct?
The Miller link is excellent but I think it minimizes the risks of welding the stronger gr 5 material. Welding commercially pure titanium is tough to begin with, and adding gr 5 to the mix makes it a fair bit worse still.

Sorry, I don't know what I'd recommend...I suggest you speak with titanium suppliers for their advice.

I would typically select the weaker of the two as filler, gr2 in this cased.
But I would check with your material producer and see what they say.
I don't weld gr5.
