CUSTOMER:Fluor - Corpus Christi Polymers
LOCATION:Corpus Christi, TX, USA
MATERIAL:Titanium

challenge

Titanium welding requires precise gas shielding and strict cleanliness to prevent contamination. To ensure proper weld pool solidification before atmospheric exposure, custom trailing shields were used for both orbital and manual welding. Performing the welds outdoors added complexity, demanding specialized procedures to maintain weld integrity.

results

Liburdi GAPCO successfully completed the titanium welding in the challenging field environment by utilizing Liburdi Dimetrics custom-engineered trail cups on manual GTAW torches and F-Heads. A critical factor in achieving success was the creation of a comprehensive training program for the Liburdi GAPCO welding team. This program focused on proper cleaning and handling techniques as well as developing consistent welding practices to ensure high-quality, uniform welds across all welders. The project demonstrated the effectiveness of the tailored solutions and rigorous training in overcoming the unique challenges of welding titanium in the field.
