[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1885351, member: 91783"] That picture shows what I was saying about stress raisers being caused by the engraving . A nice straight line crack a long the edge of the logo . Ti isn't hard to TIG . I don't know if wire for MIG welding is very available in Ti . and the heat input high . After welding it and heat treating if required I might think about putting some S.S. bands around it not screw type hose clamps but the hose bands with buckles in that area for added support . Once again I would make a copper or brass backer to put in the tube to mitigate warpage and help with heat control . My self I would clean it with alcohol vee out the crack and pull it together with hose clamps drill the ends of the crack to stop it from running then stich weld it 1/4 to 1/2 inch welds starting from the ends and meeting in the middle . Peening each weld as it was done to stress relieve it . Just my thoughts on that one . [/QUOTE]
