Nice! I built an expander like that when I worked at my dad’s shop almost 20 years ago. I modded a pull back ram with an air over hydraulic foot pedal, but a knockout punch driver is much simpler. Great tip!

@paytonlee2896 2 года назад

This is super cool, especially since there isn't much info out there about titanium. One thing that's also pretty important that I've ran into when welding titanium is to make sure the back purge isn't flowing too much. I've had times where my back purge is set a little bit too high, and the argon leaks through the joints too much, interferes with the torch shielding gas, and makes you lose coverage. It's really baffling until you figure out what happened. It's also a big cause of blowouts and looks a lot like the blowout in the video.

@wtfftw24 2 года назад

Cool. How much back purge do you advise then? Thank you.

@paytonlee2896 2 года назад

@@wtfftw24 to be honest, I have no clue. The way I do it is kind of jank, I have a Y-fitting after the regulator. Set the regulator at 30-35 CFH with torch side full open, then open the purge side just enough to have the CFH drop about 5 CFH.

I got to weld titanium a few weeks back. It was an experience that I won't soon forget. Like you said, it's unlike anything you've ever welded, and I was able to get by with my #10 cup. It has a slight rainbow color to it though, so I do need to get a larger cup if I do it more often.

@ollieconverse8471 3 месяца назад

I recently watched your video on welding up the titanium tubing. I spent several years working as a welder for a company building heat exchangers for the plating industry. These were almost exclusively using 1" to 2" commercially pure titanium, thin wall tubing. Any time we were welding a surface which had an opening inside, we were required to use Argon to displace the air inside to keep the inside of the weld from becoming contaminated and brittle. Once Titanium gets above 900 degrees it very quickly absorbs CO2 and other impurities from the air into the weld, so back purging with an inert gas was essential. Maybe your work was not going to be subjected to heavy stress, but I think the practice of always back purging should be a part of any titanium welding practice. I did like your attention to cleaning the surfaces before the weld process.

@wesathetechnician 2 года назад

As I recently got into TIG Welding I've of course done my research about different things and one of those things is of course Cleaning the material. Everyone here on RU-vid says the same thing. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN however, when I went to a local fabrication shop that's very well known and do super small to super big jobs I asked them how they work and the guy I was talking to basically told me "If the part is not like SUPER dirty I never clean it off more than with acetone to get rid of oils, but that's about it.". He said most of the coworkers worked in the same way and that's the way he had been taught. So, what actually gives? I mean, how much of a difference does it make? Love the vids! Thanks

@TheFabricatorSeries 2 года назад

On titanium, it's a huge difference. Everything else... usually acetone is all that's needed. Sometimes brushing on stainless is needed. Some people take it over the top.

@wesathetechnician 2 года назад

@@TheFabricatorSeries Thanks for the reply. That's good to know! I haven't planned doing anything with Titanium yet, but yeah definitely good to know the cleaning process. My first 3 "big" projects is a Welding cart(done), Welding table(gonna go get material this week) and then an exhaust for my Passat in stainless :-)

@glenpiro313 2 года назад

Awesome, absolutely awesome, especially the hole filling technique. I had to repack the stock "silencer" on a 1981 YZ80H, and that involved cutting the welded end cap off, cleaning and repacking the inside, and re-welding the cap back on. Needless to say, I blew a couple holes in the very thin and weak steel. I stumbled upon your method purely by accident, watching you do it so smoothly was very encouraging. Ive messed around with titanium a bit, definitely a challenge! What size tungsten did you use on this job? If you already mentioned it and I missed it, my apologies.

Aerospace Welding experts....hahahah good one. I am not a Aerospace/Welder, i just work with them a lot, so i understand your jab. My Aircraft/Aerospace expertise is more a generalist with 20 years experience on everything else relating, including Titanium modifying, shaping and constructing. It's funny because when i seen you sanding down the Titanium, my first thought was that sparking back onto the titanium itself and the repercussions in Aerospace/Aircraft: we are allowed so no sparking back onto the material when reshaping. Having to sand down 2 to 5 thou on a taper shim, for a 787 Stabilizer.....is no laughing matter Sanding down 1-3 thou the Engine bay door contours on a F-22 for R&D.......... but i laughed at myself when you mentioned Aerospace.

@kylesenior 2 года назад

Not a welder, but did learn some TIG welding as part of my engineering degree. Is there a reason you don't use an inert gas box for something like this? I don't imagine that they are very expensive (though I may be wrong), but it would mean not having to stop for post-gas until a section cools and less concern about oxidation in general.

@gixxerkid3120 Год назад

Awesome video, I actually have a customer's Titanium Exhaust in my shop right now that I need to do a repair on. Glad I saw your video, I learned a few things as always...I plan on back purging the part but the crack itself is in the previous weld bead, it appears to be on a weld that is where the tube was flared to fit over the other tube, and someone else tried to fix it with what looks like MIG in another spot and burned a pea size hole in the tube along with a bunch of craters like when there is no gas present in MIG. Wish me luck it should be fun !!! I did get some Grade 2 coupons and I know from talking to the manufacturer of the exhaust that they use grade 1 in their exhaust systems, how much difference should I expect when I switch from practicing on the grade 2 to welding on the grade 1 ? i.e. settings (I'm assuming will be really close) should I use pulse ? I'm also concerned about being able to clean inside the crack since I can't get in between the layers very well... As always TIA for your videos and help... Chris @ T-Town Welding and Fabrication.

@Henrik.Yngvesson 2 года назад

The oxide on titanium welds from lack of shielding gas creates micro fractures in the oxide which will grow over time when flexing and vibrating. I don't know how deep it will go and if grinding will remove it, but brushing off the coloring will not and is not acceptable.
