Titanium is referred to as a reactive metal because it does not take kindly to contamination, and in fact, a contaminated Titanium weld can actually become brittle (something you definitely don\u2019t want heading down a rough trail in a mountain bike).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2655\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2655\" style=\"width: 223px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

desirable because it is strong and lightweight, and resists corrosion, but the welder must take care to weld it correctly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The first step to welding titanium is to make sure your fab shop is clean.\u00a0 You don\u2019t necessarily need a hi-tech white clean room, and you won\u2019t need to wear little paper booties, but the area where you will be welding should be as free of moisture, dust, grease and any other contaminants as you can attain.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also want to be free of air drafts&#8211;\u00a0 turbulent air can draw in oxygen, which ruin your weld.\u00a0 Some people use purge chambers which enclose your weld area.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2657\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption

to make sure your joint surfaces are smooth and clean.\u00a0 You can use a stainless steel brush, but make sure it\u2019s one reserved only for your titanium welding, otherwise you\u2019ll get cross contamination, and don\u2019t use a steel file, sandpaper, or steel wool, which can leave particles in your base metal.\u00a0 Also you can clean your base metal with denatured alcohol and a lint-free rag.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2658\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

mentioned air drafts because oxygen contamination is one of the most common reasons for sub-standard titanium welds, so you\u2019ll need to protect the front and often the back side of your weld until the temperature of your weld zone drops below 800\u00b0 F (427\u00b0 C).\u00a0 Generally, you\u2019ll use argon for your shield gas and you\u2019ll want to make sure your gas is from a trusted source and that all the leads and fittings have been tested.\u00a0 Same with your TIG\/GTAW torch:\u00a0 make sure all your fittings fit and that your torch insulators and o-rings offer a proper seal.\u00a0 And finally, you\u2019ll want a super large nozzle with a gas lens or gas flow straightener, or a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10_235_574\"
