Kevin=2CThanks for the report - great to hear the flights are going well. Be sure to get some photos of the wooden struts and attach points - there's a few of us interested in that for sure (IE: me =3B )Congrats again on the successful flights!Tom B.> Subject: Pietenpol-List: 20 hour report

Great report and congradulations!Now I know how I got all those funny burnt marks on the side and etchedwindows on my pickup truck. I learned very quickly not to park anything ofvalue near the Big Piet welders while they are working.Barry DavisNX973BP-----Original Message-----

RE: Pietenpol-List: Welding exhaust systems
Original Posted By: lnawms(at)yahoo.com
I think the person said it ignited at about 2200 deg F From the info I have it melts at 3135 F which is about 400 above that of steel. An oxy acetyline toch produces a flame of 5800-6300 F (a henrob is about 900deg hotter)=2C so it would melt alright=2C but from what I gather it reacts terribly in the presence of oxygen and must be TIGed. I'm a torch guy and have little experience with MIG or TIG. What experience I have is in automated systems which is easy. I welded up torque converters when I was in college. Assemble everything=2C set the torch distance and push a button-lol. I have no experience with Ti other than drilling an machining. Tool wear is a problem. More difficult than working with nitrided steelDoug DeverIn beautiful Stow OhioDate: Thu=2C 29 Oct 2009 17:07:11 -0700
