Default Welder Needed!

Hey Guys,

I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I'm trying to do the bypass mod on my titanium exhaust for my Corvette, but I can't seem to find anyone that Tig welds with 100% argon in the Tampa area.

Can someone recommend a place? I'm somewhat new to the area and I don't know anyone here yet.

Thanks in advance,
Vincent

Thanks bud. You're actually the one that recommended where I get the pipe from. It should be here sometime tomorrow.

I would love to take you up on your offer but Jacksonville is a hike from Tampa.

Last time I checked when you are tig welding, you only use argon and not argon co2 mix. At least thats all that I use.

Did you try Precision Motorsports or Revxtreme? Both are close to Tampa.

Yes when you TIG you always use 100% argon, or Argon/Helium for Aluminum. However when you TIG Titanium you must have a complete inert environment. So you need to weld the piece in a sealed container filled with an inert/noble gas. Typically Argon also

The weldor will need to backpurge the tubing with argon and weld with argon and a trailing cup to prevent oxidation .
