E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NASU 11 Kazymyr Malevych Str., 03150, Kyiv, Ukraine.Abstract
Experience of practical application of narrow-gap welding of structures of titanium and its alloys has been analyzed. The advantages of the above-mentioned method of welding are shown. Prospects of application of magnetic methods of welding arc control are outlined.
Keywords: argon-arc welding, narrow-gap arc welding, narrow groove, titanium, titanium alloys
