Canadian Welding Bureau Teams Up With International Titanium Association on How to Weld Titanium
Techniques will be discussed unique to titanium not readily apparent in other metal joining. The course will discuss various forms of titanium joining like Electron Beam, Laser, MIG, TIG and Plasma. Primary focus will be on the GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) or Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) method for joining titanium.
Individuals will also learn to deal with the challenges of everyday fabrication in the true shop environment. Titanium can and is welded every day in the open shop environment for the most stringent and critical applications and you can too.
The Welding of Titanium Workshop includes 5 hours of classroom study along with instructions on the correct welding equipment and work area needed for a successful titanium weld, proper joint design, anti-contamination procedures, and how to evaluate procedures and techniques. In addition the workshop will include 3 hour hands-on exercises for a full day workshop.
