Welding thin titanium - joining titanium sheets perfectly
Titanium is a very hard material with a high melting point, which hardly forgives errors during welding, is highly reactive and also reacts sensitively in terms of its mechanical properties if heated and cooled too quickly. This is particularly challenging with thin titanium sheets. With the Lampert welding process, you are on the safe side when welding titanium.
Titanium 3.7035 (Ti Gr 2) welding - 1.0 mm sheet metal
Titanium 3.7035 has a very high degree of purity, an almost ideal ratio of strength to formability, excellent corrosion resistance even to seawater, is highly bio-compatible and can be welded very well. It is therefore used in a wide range of applications, from medical technology to seafaring.
Careful preparation of the workpiece at the weld seam is crucial for welding titanium 3.7035 – remove any oxidation by grinding and ensuring a grease-free surface.
The 1.0 mm sheet can be welded very well with the titanium welding curve of the Micro Arc Welder at medium power (approx. 40-60%) and approx. 6-8 ms pulse duration. If in doubt, you can start with slightly lower settings and increase both the power and the pulse duration if necessary.
A slightly higher welding spot sequence is ideal to avoid embrittlement due to repeated heating and cooling. In this way, you will also achieve a visually and physically perfect result.
