Thanks for keeping up with the great content here, Jody. You and Bob Moffatt taught me literally everything I know about welding. I wouldn't have gotten to be part of this amazing community if it wasn't for guys like you. Thanks, brother!
Titanium was interesting to weld like your original video said it has a sticky puddle. I think my favorite material to weld is stainless easy to get a nice looking bead granted it does suck you need to back purge but for ease of looking good stainless. Aluminum can look nice but I find it harder than stainless personally
Jody, those grinder spark test are just terrific, especially when you froze the frame. They look just like the old drawings in the Lincoln welding bibles. I always thought those drawing were a bit theoretical but now, having seen those freeze frames, I know they were spot on. The old phrase that a picture’s worth a thousand words is a gross understatement. Thanks, Jody. Martin
Awesome photography; awesome welding tips and tricks. And awesome gear in the Weldmonger store. My notebook will be full by the 31st of August. Thanks, Jody. Martin
Excellent vids mate , I down here in Australia , been hangin off the torch for I guess about 40 plus years , but still learning. Thanks for all your tips and info .Keep em comin.. Stay well.
It’s stuff I already knew and still interesting to watch! Especially seeing the actual effects of the problems as I’ve never seen them (maybe as titanium is too expensive to play around with) One other way to identify titanium which should indicate somethings up is the weight of it. Great video regardless 👍
Another awesome video. Hydrogen embrittlement is a nightmare. We had an inert chamber to weld our titanium aircraft parts. It was a blessing to have one.
I'm in a bit of crossroads here, I'd like if you could provide me with some tips. Created a welding business last year been developing my skills on stick and trying to grow to tig, however I have also managing my business meaning paying taxes, advertising, promoting etc all by myself. Read MIDAS TOUCH by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump were they talk about having a team, I'm trying to develop it but majority of the person's I have I got to be training them but they aren't really interested to learn "All About The Money". Remembering why I started welding was because I fell in love with it, now it's like I have got to lift everything up but deciding what I should put on the next level first is challenging. Please if you can understand or relate, I'd like an advice you can give to a 19 year old with this weight.
I’ve made the number one mistake before. Years ago, before I knew better, I had an exhaust on my Subaru that I thought was stainless, and I wanted to add a resonator to quieten it down. I thought lack of weight and white sparks coming from the chop saw were odd, but I welded it in with the mig anyway. It made that exact ping sound as in the video and just fell off. A nice, lightweight titanium exhaust ruined.
You have probably already answered this is how are you getting such clear shots of the welding? Is it the camera or a special lens that takes away the arc glare? I have to say as I get older I find it harder and harder to see the weld but then I have been using the same lens for 20 years. Charles
Good afternoon sir, a question I have about titanium, is there any titanium alloy that can be welded or melted with another alloy such as stainless steel or carbon steel?
i am welding some jet engin exhousts that are titanium, and is back purged and i am using 16 cup but after it cools down it cracks after 1min o so.. any insight of why it might hapen?
You left out something as important as all the rest. Clean material. Your filler, rod and your base material need to be immaculately clean. Titanium is totally intolerant of contaminants, particularly oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. Any residue of oil or cleaning solvent in your screwed. All these issues could be summed up as eliminating contamination of any kind. Titanium alloy with CP titanium or like alloy and argon or helium argon but nothing else. A very common and simple mistake is using a carbon steel wire brush instead of a stainless wire brush to clean your metal. Wash parts in a Dishwasher and rinse with copious amounts of distilled or DI water. Dry completely with clean oil-free compressed air. Do not use mineral spirits or anything that evaporates slowly. Wipe with Acetone and lint free cloth, handle only with clean, oil and dirt free gloves. Avoid leather glows as they often have oils in them. Simple cotton jersey gloves are an excellent cheap solution.

the fact that you are 19 and thinking about these things speaks volumes. building a team and creating systems and processes is necessary at some point but when you are just starting, the money might not be there to pay anyone so you just have to do it yourself for a while. Another great book on this topic is the E Myth revisited by Michael Gerber. It basically describes what you are going thru and what most of us go thru when we start a business. We are technicians who at some point have to level up to businessmen but it's not always in our nature. good luck man, wish you the best.
@@StainlessWeldingandFab I appreciate the advice and it has got me thinking, your right 99% and yes I cant TIG, can bearly MIG, Torch needs improvement. But that word quit is simply not an option for me. I am going to stumble I am going to fall, i have been in this race before i even started to weld, I love it, so I will not give up on it or myself. I've done things that might look small to certain people eyes and that's okay because they cant see what I overcame on the inside. I'm fascinated by how my mind works when I tell myself "DO OR DIE".

Wow, thanks!
Jody has definitely inspired alot of people, including me. Thanks Jody! You are an ambassador for the trade.
That brittle weld shattering into bits was pretty awesome.😳👍
Another typical video from WT&T….perfect..!! Thanks for the instruction..!!

Dang, the spark test was such a great reminder between carbon steel and stainless but now add titanium!!! 🔥👊👌
Thank you Jody! Loving these vids!!!
This IS a EYE OPENER. Good grief, if done wrong on a aerspace part The pilot will be using The Martin Baker Ejection seat. Super video Jody.
Thanks for explaining ✅✨👍
thanks for the lesson,

Thank you Jody u have been helpful thru the years .
I really enjoy your content and I'm not even a welder by trade. I weld little things here and there and your videos really help me.
Another awesome video. Hydrogen embrittlement is a nightmare. We had an inert chamber to weld our titanium aircraft parts. It was a blessing to have one.
Always tons of very useful information. I really like the way you do your videos
Aluminum and magnesium are my favorite metals to weld.
Thanks for another great video!
Appreciation from jamaica, inspiration to young welders especially me. Thank you alot.

That #1 tip was down right scary how brittle that weld was.
Thanks Jody
Great, more of this please. Greetings from Austria 👍👍👍
Your are simply the best👍👌
Number one of welding, ever🥇
Super tuto très explicite pour le soudage tig du titane.
Merci beaucoup pour vos partages.
Thank you for sharing your talents!

a combination of years of trial and error, camera lenses, and editing software.
@@weldingtipsandtricks So it doesnt look like that under your welding helmet? Charles
That table section? That stainless.... Looks mega!
Good afternoon sir, a question I have about titanium, is there any titanium alloy that can be welded or melted with another alloy such as stainless steel or carbon steel?
Ne gustaría todo lo explicativo en español te sigo ase mucho timepo
Was not expecting the sparks lol
Can you do MIG welding on Titanium. And for fun stick weld it for us...
Very good information, thank you. I'm with @rocketwrench, you and Bob Moffatt teach the very best. Keep up the great work.
i am welding some jet engin exhousts that are titanium, and is back purged and i am using 16 cup but after it cools down it cracks after 1min o so.. any insight of why it might hapen?

I have 2 more titanium videos coming soon that will talk about cleaning.
Any chance to get these cups for the Fronius torches?
I dont think Furick makes these for fronius.
Would you like to see something that will just shock you? Use an aluminum filler rod on stainless steel.
Never seen Titanium being welded,
Can we also look at Nitinol TIG welding.
you welding heart stints or something?
@@weldingtipsandtricks I’ve welded copper using TIG and it was an interesting undertaking.
is there easy chemical test for titanium like vinegar and magnesium. (if something don't react with Ti but react with stainless that will be good too)
Not that I know of. Titanium is very corrosion resistant to most acids. except for hydrofluoric and that stuff is dangerous
You can heat a small spot and it will change colors
@@1320wolf OK and how say is that TI or INOX/SS?? (with less damage vs grinding test)
GOAT!! 👨🏾🏭🔥💯
👍👍

Any fellow titanium chamber welders out there?
count me in 👍
@@precisionarc What kinda parts you welding?
@@3ckell3 some years ago I worked for a company making aircraft engine components (military) for GE and Pratt and Whitney
@@precisionarc That’s what I’m doing now. Hope you have a great weekend!🍻
