The process of Welding-titanium and its alloys must be carried with lots of safety measures because these materials are very reactive to contamination from atmosphere gases. The process of welding this material is quite different from other ferrous materials.
Steps to follow:

- Assemble the materials, and clean the material which is needed to be joined. To clean its grit and surfaces of grime you can do it with the help of rag, water and soap. And before buffing for smooth and dry, clean all blemishes and scuffs. By using alcohol swab you can prevent the outside chemicals causing harm to the surfaces.

- Before using argon gas it should be checked whether it is pure or not because small amount of impurity can cause damage to the titanium materials. To check the purity of the argon gas start flowing it before it is set in high frequency. If there are no signs of discoloration after few movements of its flow then it is pure argon gas.

- Now start the welding process with the argon gas flowing in high frequency. If there are any signs of swirled pattern emerging then your argon flow is too high. Reduce the flow level.

- During the entire welding process ensure that there is flow of shielding gas. Do not compromise on color and the integrity of the material.

- Handle the material carefully Use only cotton gloves to handle. Gloves already been used can cause damage to the material.
