Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel welding practices on titanium.Employ specialized titanium welding techniques, such as GTAW (TIG) with full inert gas shielding, to prevent contamination and embrittlement.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning and inspection.Thoroughly clean weld areas to remove any oxides or contaminants and perform appropriate NDT, such as radiographic or ultrasonic testing, to ensure structural integrity.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace fluid systems
  • Chemical processing pipelines
  • High-pressure offshore oil & gas applications
  • Medical implant manufacturing tubing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Titanium Grade 5 is sensitive to contamination during welding; maintain a scrupulously clean environment.
  • Machining titanium requires specific tooling and speeds to avoid work hardening and tool breakage.
