WELDABILITY :WELDABILITY is the capacity of a metal orcombination of metals to be welded into a suitablydesigned structure and for the resulting weld jointsto possess the required metallurgical properties toperform satisfactorily in the intended service.
A material's weldability is used to determine thewelding process and to compare the final weldquality to other materials

WELDABILITY OF TITAINIUM ALLOYS
Commercially pure titanium and most of titaniumalloys can be welded by procedures and equipmentused in welding austenitic stainless steel and
aluminum. Because of the high reactivity of titanium and
titanium alloys at temperatures above 550C,additional precautions must be applied.
Also, titanium base metal and filler metal must beclean to avoid contamination during weld.

Characteristics of Titanium
phase : Titanium is a closely packedhexagonal structure known as phase up to885c.
phase : The temperature above 885c thestructure is body centred cubic this is knownas a phase.

Commercially pure titanium:
This is classified on basis of mechanicalproperties and maximum interstaticalimpurities.
The interstatical elements like o 2,N2,c andfe increases ,strength also increases.

Alpha and near alpha alloys:
This always contain high percentage of alphaphase in their microstructure.
Alpha-beta alloys:It contains mixture of and phases in theirmicrostructure.

Beta alloys: It contains high percentage of phase stabilising elements.
Agening at low temperature increases itstrength .
Most of the alloys are weldable in eitherannealed or heat treated condition.
