Abstract
The optimal scheme of gas shielding was chosen for laser welding, allowing production of joints on alloys VT1-0, VT6, SP15, VT22, VT23 and T110. The possibility of using laser welding for low and medium alloys was established. It is shown that further improvement of the laser welding technology is required for high titanium alloys.
