Thread: Anyone know where I can source Titanium u-bends?

I need Titanium u-bends, sooner rather than later. They need to be 1 and 3/8 inch (1.375) or 35mm inside diameter. I can't find these anywhere. Does anyone know a place? or someone who could mandrel bend 1.375" strait pipes into u-bends for me? I have called every manufacturer I can find. The place that previously sold me these is no longer in business

I have a link saved on my other computer that has titanium and inconel...don't have it with me though.

try these cats though, quick search on google.

Titanium Pipes | Titanium Fittings | Titanium Fabricators

Thanks, looks like they only have 1.25 or 1.5 inch tubing, but I'll give them a call and see if they can get anything else. Do you have that other link by any chance?

ask turbotank, he posted a link in a thread that had it all. I can't remember what it was but he uses them pretty regularly.

If you need any help welding it just ask, it takes a couple special things

fill us in chris. I know it needs to be backpurged right?

It doesn't have to be. Nothing automotive absolutely has to be back purged. It just ends up costing the customer. In a aerospace and science situation they will want ti completely emerged in gas. Many convert a sand blast cabinet to weld there parts in complete submerged environment. What I do is use a large gas lens and nozzle. I mean large. Looks stupid on the torch lol. Ti welds dirty and the rod is very touchy to heat. That's all I can think of at the moment. But you should buy some to practice on. its very expensive, but really cool to work with
