Expert Titanium Welding Services and Repair Solutions

TIG/GTAW welding is generally considered best for titanium due to its superior control over heat input and excellent shielding from atmospheric contamination. For thin sections and miniature components, micro-GTAW or laser welding provides even greater precision with minimal heat-affected zones. The optimal process depends on component size, thickness, and application requirements.

Titanium is highly reactive with atmospheric gases at elevated temperatures, making contamination control critical. Successful titanium welding requires complete shielding with inert gas, precise heat input control to prevent embrittlement, and certified welders experienced with titanium's unique properties. Our controlled welding environments and advanced processes ensure contamination-free, high-integrity joints.

Welding titanium to dissimilar metals is extremely challenging due to differences in thermal expansion, melting points, and the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds. While some titanium-to-steel joints are possible using specialized transition inserts or explosion welding, most applications require mechanical joining methods. We can assess your specific dissimilar metal joining requirements and recommend appropriate solutions.

We work with all common titanium grades including commercially pure titanium (Grades 1-4), Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5), and other titanium alloys used in aerospace, medical, and industrial applications. Our welding procedures are developed specific to each grade's composition and heat treatment condition to ensure optimal weld quality and mechanical properties.

Yes, we offer NADCAP-compliant manual GTAW welding for aerospace and defense titanium components requiring certified processes, documented procedures, and operator qualification. Our NADCAP services include complete traceability, material certification, and adherence to customer-specific quality requirements for aviation-critical applications.

Quality assurance begins with proper material storage and cleaning, followed by validated welding procedures using certified filler materials. We maintain controlled welding environments with complete inert gas shielding, perform in-process monitoring, and conduct comprehensive post-weld inspections including visual examination, penetrant testing, and radiography when required. Our defect rate consistently remains below 1%.

Turnaround time depends on component complexity, weld volume, and inspection requirements. Simple repairs and prototype welding typically complete within 3-7 business days, while production runs and complex assemblies require detailed scheduling. We provide realistic delivery timelines upfront and maintain responsive communication throughout the project to meet your production schedules.

Absolutely. We support the complete product development cycle from initial R&D welding and process development through prototype validation and full production manufacturing. Our flexible approach allows us to optimize welding parameters during development, then scale to repeatable production processes with documented procedures and quality controls.
