Use a cylinder hone tool to spin the pipe with your electric power drill, then you can get the pipe to heat up even.

[@SPTuning]

Damnnn 👀 them welds cute. Do you have an only fans ?

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

Lol😂😂

[@nfdbb6906]

Only welds😏

[@kevinfrye1822]

Invest in a deburring tool there cheap and easy to use . Heating up the lint will just cause contamination , probably not enough to affect it imo . My thoughts are whatever don't go up in smoke is going to stay on the piece just like the argon oxidation . DA sand paper on a plate of metal or glass works too just time consuming and more clean up.

[@kevinfrye1822]

The deburring tool is carbide and does not leave any contamination and yes if you're using some kind of pipe cutter it does no good to use this tool other than to remove the sharp edge but as far as a bandsaw this tool will remove those remanence. Also as your comment of burning his Material off from the micro fiber rags he used can leave contamination very little to none but still contamination and as was stated it was in my opinion. Most of these parts are pre prepped as far as deburred and almost ready to weld so I really doubt a whole lot of microfiber stuck to this part but if a hacksaw was used or bandsaw Etc this is where this tool will come in handy Skillset has everything to do with welding that being said Ive seen talented people weld the dirtiest metals and you would think it was done professionally . The other thing is is the map and propane gas that he is using is ideal . If acetylene gas was used the part would be covered with soot and unweldable without cleaning once again but you said burning would not contaminate the metal it all depends on the process that used and once again the small amount of contamination would not hurt anything it was just in my opinion . Yes I do weld and as far as what I do it doesn't matter but I'm not building a mirror finish intake although I have a few under my belt even if it's not my every day thing . Have I welded titanium or stainless yes I've welded about as much as titanium as his sample piece lol and I welded a ton of stainless contaminated with salt water and still have success . Either way he's doing a phenomenal job beyond what I could ever do .

[@RadDadisRad]

That was a shit load of information delivered nicely. The whole trial and error thing with coloring, I appreciate it.

[@Sauerbrew777]

You can use headlight polish( i use Meguiar's PlastX) to clean the plastic covers on your welding hood. It won't be perfect, but it will get you through til you can buy more.

[@CreamAle]

Before tempered glass phone protection, folks had a liquid that dried to a really hard and clear protection.. Can't remember the name of the product but you can find linustechtips testing it by dragging it on the road behind his motorcycle. When I got my Cadillac done at counts kustoms is was kicking around and talking with the guys there and they used it. I THINK it was called liquid armor. Their helmets looked like new so it must work. No personal experience with it other than the chat and what they showed me on the shop tour for the show but worth a try I guess.

[@JohnTaylor-kh1sv]

Now if I get a break in my titanium frame wheelchair, I know who can fix it. It'll just take a few days to drive out there. 😁

I was thinking the same thing ♿

[@daneaustin2468]

LHT Performance uses a lot of Ticon products. Great video!

[@codyhailes8733]

That little vise is baddass, i still suck but it got better once i got a small movable vice and can get myself in a good comfortable position to weld.

[@MrReefurcheefur]

I first heard of Ticon on LHT Performance videos they do some bad ass intake piping

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

I ordered me a couple of those tycon kits and that titanium is crazy welding it when you melted it looks like lava

[@mksaeg]

I just got an ac/dc tig. Im in the early stages of the learning curve on aluminum. Im making an aluminum transom on my boat instead of wood. I havent even thought about titanium so this is cool to see.

[@izzieb]

I have a lot of respect for people who are good at metal working and welding. It's not easy to do nice, clean welds on materials like titanium.

[@nachoaz6294]

Actually with the proper shielding and methods of welding, Titanium is quite easy to weld. The puddle is smooth and consistent. Other metals such as Stainless are alloys, so there's quite a few things in the mix. Most Titanium you would see for this application is commercially pure which means it's like 99% Titanium. I've welded various alloys of every type and I can tell you from experience, welding titanium is easier than people may think.

[@802Garage]

Complete amateur here, but maybe if you get a small rotary table you could do more even coloring and consistent welding around the pipe so the coloring is more even overall. Looks cool though!

[@firstnamelastname-xi4jz]

Try lowering your argon down when you back purge.

[@BigKeke]

Damn titanium is so satisfying to watch, didn’t even realize that 20 minutes went by 😅🔥 good shit man, can’t wait to see what you do with the rx-7

[@ajmcgavic7502]

Hey bud first timer riding on Jager you too but I just want to let you know try hanging it always works for me when I wanted to color titanium and that way you don’t got to touch it and you can color it however much or little you want love your videos keep it up bud hello from Tennessee

[@tonymattisson6158]

Awesome video Hayden! I've been one of us that mentioned you should test out welding titanium. It's another craft to have when doing jobs. Also interesting to see you testing it out. Looking forward to the coming videos. Keep working hard and be safe!

Love the vid man. Nice to see this side of your welds.

[@antprice2012]

Such talent

[@kundeleczek1]

Very good welds.

[@StingrayOfficial]

Make a drill attachment that you can put pipes on and use one hand on drill, one hand on torch? Iunno. I know those rotary welding tables are handy too.

[@AverageJoeBuilds]

Corner the fishscale Ti exhaust Market 😂😂 looks actually pretty rad man I love the little tips you give, because of them you've basically taught me to tig weld! Dead serious

[@guidoheeling1179]

looks nice man! i actually like the light blue more than the purple

[@joshuabland8607]

keep up the good work mate enjoy watching from australia man

[@zcivicef]

Dunno if this has been mentioned or thought of but would a trailing cup help hold your argon at a more consistent line. It’s a little odd getting used to and might be too large for your application. I’ve welded it a couple times but by no means a professional.

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

am I the only one who likes seeing titanium clean, not "colored"?

[@alexandruv847]

you are not the only one, i don't know why everyone is coloring it, looks like gay flag

[@guidoheeling1179]

I think it looks weird with the super shiney beads, and the colouring gets rid off that. I am more of a fan for the light blue than the purple tough

[@shanemonsees4798]

Colored Titanium comes from the metal becoming contaminated when it is heated, which mean "colored" Ti is weak AF.

[@guidoheeling1179]

@@shanemonsees4798 titanium already is not the most strong metal out there, that is also the reason you see nobody make manifolds out of it, because it can not handle the stress in that certain envierement. I think weak as fuck is a little exaggerated but it is not as strong as uncoloured. Also, if a metal is contaminated it does not automatically mean it is "WeAk As FuCk".

[@madmod]

@@guidoheeling1179 this is why they grade titanium tubing for application. From aerospace to go karts it will be fine.

[@victor440_]

Your not perfect but you thrive to be perfect and that's awesome hell yeah keep it up.

[@hateonnate8098]

maybe a propane torch may make the color change happen a little slower

[@balljointfd3s]

Try welding Inconel!

[@joecody252]

Like how you fast forward it. And looks like you was talking. But, 5 sticks of wire into the middle. Bend out the bottom. Hold the wire and spin the wire to get the piece to spin. How the shop I use to work at did it.

[@danielramsay2680]

Be cool to have a Ti only welding bench all setup

[@yeetskeetledeet8184]

Maybe less frequency and raising the amperage will narrow the silver area?

[@89hybrid88]

I love the welding videos.

[@mikelellsaesser1320]

I like the first test one better. Even if it was a little wavy and uneven it looked more natural than the second test piece.

[@minigpracing3068]

I'm wondering if you can use a wet sponge for the anode to kind of "paint" the anodizing on the parts. Might be worth experimenting for larger parts that would otherwise need a large tank and higher amperage power supply. I've done some aluminum anodizing, but never Ti.

[@mason8725]

I was talking to the guy at the fab-shop about getting ti-dump tubes made and he said they are waiting on a vacume chamber setup to do TI properly 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@brodywalker8579]

Do you use a foot pedal or thumb trigger? Also is your machine auto-pulse? I had to learn the pulse on a foot pedal. Made me better for sure.

[@MrBrady85]

what a great video!!!

[@vbautococker]

Need to setup pulse to cut down on heat transfer.

[@jonasthemovie]

Color on titanium is cool if the heat is from the application. Otherwise, nah.

[@livingfreelyinspired7400]

Nice rx7 bro

[@scifrace13]

Beautiful work man. Where did you learn to weld?

Not bad for the first time I had herd that titanium are so hard to weld

[@JesseSeg84]

if you want to feel amazing about your welds i'll send you photos of mine. LOL i must be doing something wrong because even my mild steel doesn't seem to be getting any better. I think i need a better gas flow meter or try a different tungsten

Get you one of them there Paragon heat-treating ovens Xp

[@SirVic42]

Would a heat gun be effective for coloring titanium? Might get a more even color pattern and find an exact temp to use.

[@christiaanroos4479]

Aswome video! Keep up the great work!

[@StingrayOfficial]

I am VERY curious if you can use one of those ovens that Blacksmiths use to TEMPER/NORMALIZE to color Ti more consistently.

It's funny you hit it with a torch to burn the fibers off. But then immediately put them back down on a microfiber I'm sure that doesn't burn.

Frequency? You're welding Titanium in AC?

[@JUNKYARDGTO]

I was just looking up videos on this

[@andycapp8505]

yeeee

[@SomervilleMetalWorks]

maybe you need some UHP Argon to avoid getting contaminants in your HAZ. Smaller cup and tungsten and lower heat input (whether that'd be hotter and faster or slower and colder) should also help reduce your HAZ and the silver band

[@terrypickette118]

Good Job

[@kevinfrye1822]

Tell Wyatt to finish that truck and get some titanium induction pipes on that blue Duramax motor .

[@madmod]

That's a great way to burn up $1200

[@kevinfrye1822]

@@madmod Money wise yes but if he's using chromoly tubing for a roll cage or chassis what difference is a cold air intake in titanium really going to make . I doubt he's running full exhaust on the truck . Plus more practice for Hayden lol

[@madmod]

@@kevinfrye1822 it makes about twelve hundred differences that will be purely aesthetic. Chromoly for roll cages is specifically important for weight savings when high strength is required. It's a effective replacement for mild steel and it doesn't rust. Money well spent. The reason not titanium as a chassis is because cost would be astronomical. Almost as bad as making induction pipes out of it purely for aesthetic.

[@kevinfrye1822]

@@madmod aesthetic was the point and as much as he has in his build between chromoly custom paint the engine build etc etc what's a few more bucks in a pretty pipe that looks good with your blue paint and paying Hayden to do it and getting a jab at Wyatt to put some more videos up ? I know the reasons for a chromoly cage hell if he wants to gold plate there be million reasons why not but his buddy don't do gold plating lol. It's not like he's going out and buying a $1200.00 pipe to put on his truck .

[@joshuawatford8006]

Heating it doesn't do anything to the strength? Might be dumb ? But I really don't know

I need some welding on my exhaust can you help me

[@Yagba09]

Can you bake the titanium? Will the color be more even because of even heat?

tha tricky welding is one of the reasons titanium is so expensive, like the raw ores are not that much more than just iron or aluminium, but the processing is very tricky, and if you put it in a lathe in a normal envirement it just catches on fucking fire

If your titanium post weld has any color other than silver or straw colored, that is called alpha case, and means you have ruined the properties of the titanium, and scrapped that part.
