Thanks for the replies. As for material, there is a weight maximum and I couldn't source anything else that fit the bill. A dimensionally equivalent design in steel would not meet the requirements. Our prototypes, which are hemmed closed, look beat up but are still going strong.
Our welder has...
Also, in case someone wants to recommend a different joining process, I'll just add that the cylinders are being used in a high heat environment (exposed to flames).
Looking for a little help on my application.
I need to create cylinders out of 0.003" thick titanium by wrapping the material around a form (solid cylinder with a groove cut out for weld tool) and then spot welding the overlapping ends.
The specs are: 0.003" thick titanium (MIL-T-9046, COMP...
