Langfields are manufacturers of titanium pressure systems and components for a range of industries.

Titanium welding involves joining titanium metal, known for its lightweight, high strength, and exceptional corrosion resistance, using specialised techniques to maintain its integrity.

Since titanium is highly reactive at elevated temperatures, it requires careful control of shielding gases like argon or helium to protect the weld area from oxidation and contamination.

The heat input must be minimised to avoid distortion and maintain the metal’s mechanical properties, as titanium has low thermal conductivity. TIG welding is the most common method, offering precise control for high-quality welds, especially for thin sections. Cleanliness is crucial, as contaminants such as oils or dirt can lead to defects like porosity. Post-weld cleaning and passivation are often necessary to restore corrosion resistance. Titanium welding is widely used in demanding industries like aerospace, medical, marine, and chemical processing, where durability and performance are essential.
