What is X-ray of weld joints?

X-ray of weld joints capability for titanium components

Certified welding capability for X-ray of weld joints, with full inert gas shielding, weld procedure qualification, and operator certification.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG) for titanium uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with argon shielding at the torch face, trailing shield, and backup purge. Titanium's reactivity above 600°C demands complete oxygen exclusion until the weld zone cools below 300°C, specifically for titanium components. Precision titanium components present unique challenges: balancing dimensional accuracy with cost per part. Process selection (mill vs. turn vs. EDM vs. laser) is optimized for each feature.

Parameter Specification
Heat Input Low — narrow HAZ (1–3 mm)
Shielding Argon face + trailing shield + backup purge
Weld Speed 100–300 mm/min (manual); 1000 mm/min (orbital)

Frequently Asked Questions

What titanium grades are suitable for X-ray of weld joints?
X-ray of weld joints can be performed on Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Grade 7, and other grades. The specific grade selection depends on the required mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and end-use application requirements.
What tolerances can be achieved with X-ray of weld joints?
Typical achievable tolerances for X-ray of weld joints are Weld distortion: +0.5 mm typical; +0.1 mm with fixture. Tighter tolerances may be possible depending on part geometry, material condition, and quantity. Our engineering team reviews each project to determine the optimal tolerance-cost balance.
What quality certifications apply to X-ray of weld joints?
All X-ray of weld joints operations are performed under ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management System, AS9100D — Aerospace Quality Management, ASTM B265 — Titanium Strip, Sheet, and Plate Standard certified quality management systems. Full traceability documentation, material certifications (EN 10204 3.1), and inspection reports are provided with each shipment.
What is the typical lead time for X-ray of weld joints projects?
Lead times for X-ray of weld joints vary by complexity and quantity. Prototype quantities (1-10 units) can typically be completed in 3-7 business days. Production quantities require 15-25 business days. Rush orders are available for qualifying projects. Contact our sales team for a specific timeline.
