Welding Titanium

[SonofaBish]

Does anyone know of a shop that can weld titanium that is within reasonable distance of Pittsburgh??

bgblockelcamino (jeff) is looking into it for me, but as a backup plan, I would like to see if there is anyone else around that can do this..... The exhaust on my car is Ti, and i'm interested in having some work done to it.....

From what i'm seeing on the Corvette forum, everyone says its inexpensive and easy... however, from some research i've done, it doesn't sound so easy, so i'm not sure if the exhaust is a little easier to work with that general titanium or not.... ?

Thanks for any help

not sure, i havent tryed, i have read about it and the things i have read tell me that it needs shielding gas on both front and back of the weld and i know i am not set up to do that.
