The International Titanium Association, in cooperation with the Canadian Welding Association, is offering the “How to Weld Titanium Workshop” on 3 March 2009, 5 March 2009, and 11 March 2009. Course content will include titanium history & background, characteristics – what is important for welding, general manufacturing/welding processes used, preparation for welding, cutting and cleaning, and correct titanium techniques. Techniques will be discussed unique to titanium not readily apparent in other metal joining. The course will discuss various forms of titanium joining like Electron Beam, Laser, MIG, TIG and Plasma. Primary focus will be on the GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) or Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) method for joining titanium.
