Castings & Rotating Equipment Weld Repair
From pumps to valves to vessel components, titanium castings have long been used in the shipbuilding industry. However, most companies that purchase these castings do not have the in-house capability to weld repair these components.
Titanium Fabrication performs this work on a daily basis, repairing titanium and zirconium casting for various OEMs. This work includes excavating and repairing pits, repairing cracks in the castings, and weld build up flange faces that are too thin for design allowances.
TiFab has all the necessary TIG titanium and zirconium welding procedures approved for NAVSEA Tech Pub requirements, or for ASME code requirements.
TiFab fabricates our defense projects in adherence to:
- NAVSEA S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248 (MIL-STD-248) — Requirements for Welding and Brazing Procedure and Performance Qualification
- NAVSEA S9074-AR-GIB-010/278 (MIL-STD-278) — Requirements for Fabrication, Welding and Inspection, and Casting Inspection and Repair for Machinery, Piping, and Pressure Vessels
- NAVSEA T9074-AS-GIB-010/271 (MIL-STD-271) — Requirements for Nondestructive Testing Methods
Welding Processes:
- GTAW (TIG)
- GMAW (MIG)
- SAW (Subarc)
- PAW (Plasma)
