Ti tube bending + welding for bottle cages
Ti tube bending + welding for bottle cages capability for titanium components
What is Ti tube bending + welding for bottle cages?
Ti tube bending + welding for bottle cages capability for titanium components
Certified welding capability for Ti tube bending + welding for bottle cages, 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, and medical applications presents unique challenges: wall thickness uniformity (±0.05 mm) over long lengths, internal surface finish Ra < 0.8 µm for fluid flow, and 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 Ti tube bending + welding for bottle cages, with full inert gas shielding, weld procedure qualification, and operator certification.
Hole Types Supported
Heat Control Measures
