How is Titanium welded to Stainless Steel?
Titanium and Titanium alloys cannot be fusion welded to Stainless Steel. However special solid state processes that do not resort to fusion, can be used to join the two materials for preparing Transition Elements. Among these processes are friction welding, explosive welding, ultrasonic welding, magnetic pulse welding, coextrusion or roll welding and other methods. Regular fusion welding processes can then be used to weld each end of the transition element to the part of the same material needed to accomplish the required assembly. Top Welding Titanium Clad Steel [From PWL #23] Q: – How is Titanium Clad Steel welded on itself? A: – From the Article reported in Section 11 in PWL #023 we quote: “Fusion welding [the new product] is not critical to the same degree [as conventional explosively clad plate] and conventional methods of fusion welding the joints of titanium and zirconium [clad steel] plates are significantly less critical. It has even been possible to make a welded joint by str
