Hank , As mentioned is plasma the only way. But that thicknes..

 

Welding should be done in a shielded environment  (glove box filled with Argon/Helium

Machining is difficult tough…

Onderwerp: [PSUBS-MAILIST] cutting Titanium

 

Hi All,

Looks like I can buy the old Sever submarine in Alabama.  The sub is WAY to big to be practical, so I am am in need of advice on how to cut the titanium heads off the pressure hull.  Does anyone have experience with cutting heavy titanium?

Hank
