Automatic TIG welding (tube end)
Automatic TIG welding (tube end) capability for titanium components
What is Automatic TIG welding (tube end)?
Automatic TIG welding (tube end) capability for titanium components
Certified welding capability for Automatic TIG welding (tube end), with full inert gas shielding, weld procedure qualification, and operator certification.
Engineering Parameters & Capabilities
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG) for titanium uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with argon shielding at the torch face, trailing shield, and backup purge. Titanium's reactivity above 600°C demands complete oxygen exclusion until the weld zone cools below 300°C, specifically for tube. Precision tube for Chemical, Aerospace, Medical present unique challenges: Wall thickness uniformity (±0.05 mm) over long lengths. Internal surface finish Ra < 0.8 µm for fluid flow. Bent tube ovality control.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Heat Input | Low — narrow HAZ (1–3 mm) |
| Shielding | Argon face + trailing shield + backup purge |
| Weld Speed | 100–300 mm/min (manual); 1000 mm/min (orbital) |
Engineering Capabilities & Limits
Certified welding capability for Automatic TIG welding (tube end), with full inert gas shielding, weld procedure qualification, and operator certification.
