OK The Ti tubing was a bust. Got the materials in for the job from customer...... SS on the economical side and have this piece here. 2 into 1 merge collector that someone put together. Nice welds on tube flanges but what happened on the merging tubes? Wire feeder? Do I need to just cut and Tig it to make sure it doesn't crack apart?

Looks like they bought a merge already fabbed, it was mig welded pretty hot, I'd say in spray transfer. Should hold just fine...it would be quite a job to cut out and reweld TIG, not knowing what your going to run into once you start removing the weld.

It is stainless right?
I weld stainless, stainless and more stainless...Food Industry, sanitary process piping, vessels, whatever is needed, I like to make stuff.

Tig welding over top of or in the HAZ area of a mig weld is usually a pain. Lots of contamination that wants to come to the surface I.E. holes and scum.
I have more questions than answers
