TFS: Working with Titanium & How to Build a Catch Can 

Please don't change... I watched another 'fabrication' channel until recently where it became a blog, then we started going on family vacations with this person and so on... Your skilful, excellent at your videos and they are all about fabrication. Please don't change!

dude, ive learned more from this guy in 4 youtube vids than i have in 4 days on youtube. hes not completely monotone, hes informative, i can understand and follow him...how do u guys not have more subs!?

Amazing work as always. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us.

Ordered the Ticon starter kit on Thursday evening (Irish Time) It arrived in Dublin.ie on Monday morning 9:00 am by DHL. Awesome service

DUDE! How did you clone yourself? If I could do that I would get twice as much nothing done at once! Awesome catch can & video!

Lots of good information, thanks for sharing.

Scrap metal? Titanium? Are you related to the Koch Brothers?

The best part is I used motor cycle exhaust cleaner and it removed the color off my sons Titanium exhaust tip, need I say how upset he was that it F'ed it up. So at the time I didn't know about heating it so I use Coke a Cola & electrolysis to re-color the exhaust tip back to a new color that he liked even better than the factory finish.

Hey man for those just beginning a welding program (Fortis) how would you recommend best approaching Automotive Performance shops in regards to entry level welding positions? I live in the Metro-Atlanta area and

The oxidation of titanium will form micro fractures that might grow into large cracks if exposed to stress and vibrations. That's why the shield gas is so much more important than on other materials. The coloration at @4:05 is probably no big deal in this application as said but try avoid it if possible and especially around mounting brackets and such that will be exposed to a lot of stress. Try to weld it against a piece of stainless steel and you'll see how fragile it is for impurities, make sure you wear googles ;) I saw some pipes/craters, increase the slope down to let it cool down slowly and keep moving a little bit so the heat doesn't build up when you stop adding filler.

You are only one of the few people i think its worth sitting thru an ad for, hopefully with all the incredible info you put out you get compensated good. I still refer people to the bending videos and they are blown away how someone actually can teach worth a shit these days and come away actually with some good usefull skill. Keep up the incredible work and vids man and awsome new setup also.

Great Video Thanks for the info!

Why didn't you introduce your twin earlier?

honestly this has to be the best fabrication channel on youtube. I don't know shit about fabbing, but I feel like this videos do a awesome job at informing me and all the spec knowledge I need. Great work!

titanium is strong but there are applications where it is a terrible choice in material such as knife/sword blade material

just so you are aware of it ... your video is getting cross channel feed back into the voice recording ... you can literally hear you echo with the delay and just down very low in the audible range ... either your audio cable needs to be replaced because its shielding is fubar or your power line needs a choke on it to better a UPS to clean up the power line ...

Could you talk about the various titanium filler types? John

No Mounting brackets though?

Why build a catch can out of titanium? Because racecar bro

youtube karens demand disclaimers for each video.

How are you tig welding without gloves and not getting shocked?

Great videos, as always, I have a question, I'm looking for high quality hoses for oil coolant etc. where can one purchase metric performance pluming ? (AN fitting and hoses are easy to find) do they exist ? thanks

professional catch can >$1,000. WTF are you smoking

27:38 it looks like Homer Simpson

How is it 3x stronger than steel but only 2x stronger than aluminum?

Why can i hear delayed eco of your voice editing?

How to avoid oxidation on fully enclosed tubing that can't be backpurged? Does it just come down to super tight fit up and heat input?

Dude your channel! It's amazing! Would love to see a same format video on carbon fiber!

Such useful information interspersed with a shot of welding using bare hands next to a UVC emitting tig device. So sick of seeing professional welders inviting skin cancer.

IDEALLY you should weld in a flooded weld chamber for titanium as this will insure not contamination during welding.

Why do you want to make sure the titanium stays cool while cutting, but do heat it up after to get the blue color? Or heat it up before welding so you get the blue pipes with silver welds.

I want to make a catch can with my everlast welder. Working with titanium would be cool too but not much use for that myself.

I love that you have to clarify this shit lawl. Follow your wps for your job specifically.

So which grade is being used here? Cp1 or 6AL-4V?

I have a question, you welded the internal parts to the can, what kept the color or any distortion from showing itself on the outside of the can from that welding? thanks

Are you left handed?

Can you post a link to your next vid in the description please Also how much would the materials cost to build the same one at home?

My new favorite show

is that a special lense for the bbw?

hey brother insane work your doing!! all the new videos are so cool but i was thinkig whuld you do some custom things like that can and some stuff for my 1000whp sti???? i,ll ofcorse pay

wow... great channel... so informative, not just building things or bolting things. nothing like ericthecarguys who will show us how to bolt his new roll cage he just been giving by X retailer ? try to make him something he can bolt somewhere then youll skyrocket in subs! im so glad i found you

I know you didn't show us your design on the inside of the can for patent pending reasons but can you tell me what goes inside it? Like just a baffle or is there some stainless mesh? Want to build and aluminum one for my k series but don't know if I should put mesh or not?

Love the intro!

Just stumbled on to your show yesterday... SOOO stoked! Your videos are motivating!! I love it that you work out of a simple garage. Thank you for making these videos.

Have you ever tried back purging with other shielding gases? I've heard of using a cheaper gas for the back side as long as it's not a active gas.

I checked out Ticon, I was pretty keen to have a go at welding Ti as I have never done that. The sample pack is an awesome idea, but the $50 postage charge to Australia, on the $20 sample pack, means I don't think I will be buying from them. Great for all of you USA guys though.

Cant find this product for sale anywhere!

I saw video about engine cover vent build, i saw this video, but why you need it how it works?

Do you have problems with the oxide reaction once the cup has passed over the weld Great channel

so where did you learn all this because you seem like you were taught by some old school mentors

Great videos on your channel!

I went from hopeful to win to lost in sorrow .. you want this.. sorry jk

So much information in such a small time period is fantastic, love your videos.

nice rag know somebody that works at a hospital?

Love your videos so informative and well done!! Thanks for doing them.

awesome video. never worked with it but gives me motivation to give it a go

thanks man this has to be your best informational video yet

great information brother.

Great vid, thank you.

Yay I can't wait to build my own lol

Does anyone know what is the best filler metal to use with titanium?

What Tungstens do you use? 2% lanth?

Great info on titanium Thanks

Fucken love your videos man. is it possible to use titanium for exhaust system?

No baffle system in catch can?

what blade did you use on your bandsaw? how did you not squish the tubing? i've been looking at machining a holder die so it doesnt squish.

One of my favourite videos on this channel. Cant wait till i get a job so i can get a welder and start fabricating parts!

How do you cut ti sheets that are too thick to use tin snips on? Obviously i mean without a press brake or any other expensive bit of kit, and leaving you with a piece of metal that you can clean enough for a full strenght weld. How does it react to plasma cutting?

was that cp1 you used ?

best intro ever! great job!

tungsten selection?

Where can i buy the original catchcan

Great job !

Very useful, thank you for the video.

Happy Birthday Mr. President trump

why is it that titanium valve spring retainers chip and crack if there stronger then the oem steel retainers? some are said to be checked on and or replaced after 40,000 miles where oem steel can outlive the life of the car!
