Titanium and Titanium Alloy “G-coat series”
“G-coat series”
Welding of titanium and titanium alloy parts usually employs TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding although low throughput of TIG welding results in higher costs of such assemblies. A more desirable option is higher efficiency MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding. However, the addition of a small amount of oxygen into argon gas is necessary in order to stabilize the welding arc and the oxygen reacts with the titanium to form hard and brittle oxides that deteriorate the welded joint integrity.
Daido Steel has solved this problem with the development of a new class of welding wires, “G-coat”, which enables high efficiency MIG welding of titanium and titanium alloy parts using inert gas only (Ar or He), without the addition of oxygen.
“G-coat” titanium and titanium alloy welding wire, with its special coating , exhibits many positive qualities. Some of these qualities are outlines below.
- The most suitable for GMAW
- Excellent arc stability in inert shielding gas (Pure Ar or He)
- Good wire feedability
- Smooth and uniform surface weld bead
- Low spatter
- Provides good mechanical properties in the Welded joints comparable with the base metal
