I have a part with cosmetic damage that may need to be weld repaired. The part is 6al4v alloy. It is 1.2" in diameter and 6" long. The damage is .125" dia. x .09" deep. This part is titanium purely for esthetic reasons, the parts are usually made from 6061. After reading about welding Ti I'm thinking that if it was welded in an open top box a couple inches deep that was being filled with argon while at the same time using a gas lens on the torch with a long post flow time I should be able to make a good weld on the part. I do have practice material to weld on first. Anybody have any good advice for me? Thanks, Eric
