Suitable out-of-chamber, manual and semi-automatic welding techniques have been developed for the fabrication of a titanium alloy pressure box of the type required for low cycle fatigue studies at the Marine Engineering Laboratory. These techniques may also be used for fabricating complex structural elements of heavy plate titanium. (Author).

This memorandum represents a combined effort by the U.S. Naval Applied Science Laboratory, Brooklyn, New York, and the Defense Metals Information Center to summarize new information on welding thick Ti plate. Thick plate of Ti continues to be of interest to the aerospace and defense industries for possible use in submersibles, armored vehicles, large space boosters, high-speed aircraft, and for pressure vessels. This memorandum generally is limited to information on welding Ti plate that is (1) at least 1 in. thick and (2) that is not covered by DMIC Report 185, The Status and Properties of Titanium Alloys for Thick Plate, June 14, 1963. The general requirements for welding Ti are not repeated here, since they are well documented in references mentioned in the inroduction to the memorandum. Sections have been prepared to cover material developments, welding-process developments, weld properties, and residual welding stresses. (Author).

The results of this investigation indicates that mechanized out-of-chamber welding of thick plate titanium alloy in the flat position can be accomplished without undue difficulty, provided that care is exercised in the preparation of the plates for welding and in the control of the welding operation and that a trailing shield of suitable design is used in the operation. Additional work in out-of-chamber mechanized welding of thick plate titanium is required to establish appropriate welding conditions for specific alloys intended for use in submarine hull construction and to assess the properties of weldments produced with these alloys.
