A titanium system needs titanium hooks, and that is the entire reason this article exists alongside the cheaper steel one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWelding It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTitanium demands a proper gas shield on both sides of the weld and a trailing shield over the cooling bead. A hook is a small part in a large heat sink, which makes it easier to get wrong than a pipe joint — the surrounding metal draws the heat away and the temptation is to add more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA grey or blue-white bead means the shielding failed.
