TITANIUM EXHAUST WELDING (Featuring @heffnerperformance)

[@Barthoization]

This is ALOT harder then Jeff makes it look. Superb skill. Those pipes are artwork.

[@mondeacid5610]

This guy is a welding genius, great workmanship young man.

[@Thiantrus]

If it was me welding there in first 5 seconds "CAN YOU BRING A NEW PIPE THIS ONE IS GONE"

[@diegocamberos7233]

A lil grinder with sanding disc should do it 😂

[@tayotaylor7897]

I loved how enthusiastic he got "that's what this is man, art" dude you have talent that I hope I will develop! Good shit dude

[@ChuckBeefOG]

My version of welding is fire up the big diesel arc welder, grab a random ass rod that i have no idea whats in it, try to weld if it sticks i turn the dial thingy up and if it burns through i turn the the dial thingy down. Just goes to show you how much there is too this stuff.

[@brians5088]

Nice to see you guys out of the school house. Please keep these practical application videos coming! Maybe some rollcage work to FIA specs? Nice work and great demonstration Jeff.

[@RadDadisRad]

I second this. Would love to see this applied in Motorsports.

[@McNeillWelding]

Awesome video!! Jeff really knows his stuff and described his work well. Cool to see all the high end cars.

[@BackyardBeeKeepingNuevo]

This guy is artist and craftsman. Fantastic work is an understatement.

That Harley exhaust is absolutely beautiful.

Brings back memories of my welding tritium at the plant ,not that thin) 1/4 ins.and thicker .have a good week.

You mean titanium because if you were welding tritium there would be any memories or person to talk about it tritium is a radioactive isotope

Great demonstration and narrative

[@Welddotcom]

Thanks Robert.

[@rvalcourtpersonaca]

Wow just wow!!!

[@billclark5943]

I love welding Ti. By far the most satisfying material to weld and when you have your setup correct it's easier to weld than stainless in my opinion. Flows so nice. With that said it's "the" material (along with Inconel) that sets the men apart from the boys cuz you gotta fabricate that shit before you can weld it.

[@turbine6338]

Stunning work, a Tradesman at his job

[@paulmorrey733]

Great welding Thanks

Really nice work, Jeff!

[@ROTAXD]

Big D so, you’d blow what, 6-7 grand to gain maybe 10 horse ? There’s no benefit to having a Ti exhaust except a small weight savings.

[@jeffray9049]

ROTAXD all about preference at that point

[@vinniemartin3682]

The exhaust would cost more than the Bow whine Scumaro

I've been wanting to do this since around 2010 when I started taking welding classes. I want to build a turbo set for a flathead ford.

[@toolbox-gua]

Awesome!

[@TheAussiePirate]

Love it!

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

Impressive! It would be cool to have a TITANIUM EXHAUST system on my custom Chevy SS Sedan. Not sure how it would hold up to road vibration, but I like the idea of reduced weight and thinner stock.

[@rafatrill]

That's badass

[@dooflicker1]

I wish I could find a 2 into 1 reverse megaphone exhaust system for my 06 Kawi Meanstreak.

[@bobbymcgee6596]

He can weld for sure but did he have a stroke when he said “ different characteristics” 😂😂😂

[@mmotitaniumanode8824]

so nice

[@darwindwelle5267]

Wow this man can weld awesome.

[@joshfoley8862]

It's a very slow and steady weld process on that material. Patience!

[@JKGarageBMW]

Love it - aspirations

[@cjmega9323]

When tig welding Titanium I have heard to shield the weld until its cooler than 600-800F. Exhausts can reach 1200F. Why is it that they aren't damaged at that temperature? Also why is there no issue with heating titanium until it changes colors but welds are rejected if not silver or straw?

[@lkjyuiop1987]

I TIG at work on 300 amp I make car wash vacuum cleaners. This is cool to see Don’t care much for expensive cars

[@rexdrabble4988]

The transfer of wire to puddle is some thing to see! Just awesome compared to s/s. Any good tig welder cad do fantastic welds on TI. Was doing this 30 years ago in AUSSIE. CP ENGINEERING in MELBOURNE are true experts!!!!

[@94crx31]

Beautiful work there, but why is everyone Tig Welding without sleeves 🤔

That man is stoned 🤣 😂

[@johnjay5143]

I wouldn't even want to ask what that hedder costs ... lol Nice . :)

[@HochstartHarry]

Impressive... Ima try a lil less power now, i ussuly go around 40a for 1mm pipe

[@bouncing_fabricator]

What grade of titanium do you use for the bike exhausts? I’ve seen people use grade2 but isn’t very good close to the engine(if it’s on a car) as it’s really only good for up to 450•c?

[@tjlovesrachel]

Jeff is fuckin gettin it

[@robertlong9552]

Cool

[@videocardzrule3097]

Why are some titanium exhaust welded? While other titanium exhaust bent? Is there a difference?

[@randallparker8116]

Not being an ass but it looks undercut is some places, won't that make a thin spot that cracks easier in the heat and cooling of exhaust temps? Just sayin

[@precisionarc]

My first thought, he wasn't adding filler at what most would consider a normal fill rate, could be he is wanting to ensure penetration and also wanting a flat weld. If we could have seen inside I'm guess he had 100%, which would be a very strong weld as long as he had a good purge.

[@BobSmith-jf8dt]

no shots of the inside of the welds?

[@davidhayes5570]

How do you know what grade of filler rod to use?

[@precisionarc]

David, there are charts to match base material with the correct filler, same with stainless, aluminum, steel, etc...no secrets here ;-)

[@brians5088]

If you want more in-depth info on titanium, go check out Unobtainium Welding channel

[@laurieagnew6706]

If you are ever unsure what grade youre working with you can use commercially pure filler

[@zackthebongripper7274]

Welding is harder than college calculus.

[@peyton2593x]

Zack TheBongRipper, that’s all relative. I know a bunch of welders than can’t do calculus and calc students who can’t weld. I’ll take welding over calculus any day!

[@kyleg8230]

This guy sounds like a real bong ripper....

[@mattvorhees6055]

I'm surprised the merge collector wasn't welded first with the rest of the joints taped off. He's sucking lots of air. And after that weld the tube fusion with correct purge. No sunk welds or introduced contaminants. His welds sunk because he didn't have enough back pressure on the purge.

[@jeffray9049]

matt vorhees this having been the first one I’d done i know where to improve from having done it the first time as well as I was on a time crunch with the bike that I was using to mock the system up on. I usually do such things as welding the collectors and tips and flanges all out before assembly.

[@mattvorhees6055]

@@jeffray9049 gotcha.

[@mattvorhees6055]

@@jeffray9049 if you plan building more headers in the future you might want to consider mounting your fixture to a roll out wheel. It makes it so much easier and saves a lot of time. You can spin your fixture or part 360.

Hi Lee, I think he said the 2-1 was by themselves? using Ti from Ticon industries. They sell Ti piecuts and tube. They also sell trial packs of Ti for trying out Ti welding. They maybe bought all the piecuts and then mocked the system up on the bike but I'm guessing.

@@jaquesdaniels2964 thank you. I thought it was a header company that was having this company make a new model for Harley's. I'm not sure why someone would spend this type of money on a pipe that hasn't been tested for flow, back pressure, sound. I run all RBracing headers on my Harley's.
